Can drinking green tea with antioxidants for the first time cause me to get a cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Green tea is a beverage with a lot of health benefits it cannot give you a respiratory illness. That is because "colds" are caused by infections with viruses. Hope you feel better soon.
