How Dangerous Is To Drink MT. Dew When Having Brain Tissue Damage?

Hi my name is Maribell and I work with consumers with special needs. I have a consumer that I am very concerned about. She drinks mt dew all the time. My understanding is that there is a correlation between too much caffeine and seizures. She recently saw a Neurologist and she was informed that she has brain tissue damage. How dangerous it is for her to drink MT. Dew?

Neurologist 's  Response
it's fine especially if she enjoys it. the main risk factors for provoking seizures are alcohol use, sleep deprivation, and medications. if caffeine is keeping her up at night then it should be limited but otherwise it is fine
