So I'm not sure about this one. I've never heard of it before, and the doctor's office I've gone through has never said anything about it, but supposedly it's supposed to be something like poison to kids' immune systems. Anyone know anything about this, cuz my almost two year old LOVES my green tea that I drink damn near on a daily basis. I don't give it to her that often, cuz of what I was told, but still...I thought it was kind of out of the ordinary myself

Just make sure you dilute it with water BIG TIME! The herbs are pretty powerful....especially for a 2 year old. Good for you for introducing your child to herbal teas though!!!!! I have a 2 year old as well I think It is way better than Kool-aid or chocolate milk....YUCK!

Young children, let's say from birth to 2 years of age, can't really digest the enzymes in tea. Now this is regular tea I don't know about green tea, it is a little more harsh I believe. After 2 yrs of age it's ok to let them drink it but not all the time.

Friend is wrong. Tea is good. Excess is bad.
