No, it isn't. There's a growing body of scientific evidence that caffeine really isn't good for children and has been linked to ADHD.

Of course there are differences between tea and E. It's not "wriggling" to state that they should both be for adults only. It's common sense, based on scientific fact.

So you really believe children should not be allowed to have a cup of tea until they're 18?

Yes. I would never give children any decaffeinated drinks. Caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant drug. This is scientific fact, whether you choose to accept it or not.

"Professor Mike Lean, an expert in nutrition, said children should be banned from buying highly-caffeinated drinks in the same way as alcohol."

None of my children had tea or coffee, my 12yo still doesn't, my 18yo's only did once they were 16-17, so although not quite 18 I never allowed it while they were children.

It's totally unnecessary and I find it quite bizzare that some parents do, I've even seen toddlers with tea in bottles, what's all that about?

Just sayin.

So why wouldn't you give them DEEEcaffeinated?

But you agree that they are vary far removed on the scale?

I have a tear from the Metro at home at the moment about the 12th teenage victim of the pink ecstasy currently doing the rounds, I don't think I've ever seen a report of somebody dying from tea consumption.

So your view is that drugs should be judged on how likely they are to cause death?

That's talking about high-caffeine drinks (where I think one can is equivalent to about 5 cups of strong coffee?)

Sorry to deny you the opportunity to tell me that nicotine and alcohol cause more deaths I am merely pointing out that it's ludicrous to suggest that drinking tea and hard drugs are the same.

The pills those kids are dying from are not ecstasy. They are something else.

Its like saying this woman became I'll because she drank tea
