green tea is great and yes it isn't just the caffeine it is everything carbonation takes calcium among other things out of your body
As far as signing goes I always heard hot tea works but green tea does detox you
talk to a nutritionist as well as a health food store and FDA doesn't mean much they have approved things that are bad for you so you really have to Read up on things

I think that the soda is bad for you b/c it's carbonated and contains so much sugar, I don't see why caffeine would be bad for your vocal chords, if anything it should improve them if you're groggy from just waking up. Scientists claim that caffeine can be good for most ppl in moderation and there's a lot less caffeine in tea than in coffee, and even a bit less in green tea. Just don't put sugar in your tea otherwise that will cancel out any benefits. Also, I think the warm/hot water soothes and clears the throat.

Green tea does contain caffeine but less then coffee. If you want to drink some for your health then drink the traditional one, no soda!
