Overview
Dr. Mehmet Oz said on Donald Trump Jr.'s "Triggered" podcast that President Trump argues diet soda "kills cancer cells" because it "kills grass" when poured on it.
Oz said he and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. usually attend meetings with the president and that he found an orange Fanta on Trump's desk on Air Force One.
Donald Trump Jr. laughed at his father's claim and said many men "pushing 80" match Trump's energy, recall and stamina while defending him.
Oz recalled examining Trump's 2016 health records and said Trump was "in perfect health" and that his "testosterone... [was] through the roof," according to Oz.
Reporting cited studies linking sugar-sweetened beverages to higher cancer rates and described mixed findings for artificial sweeteners, with one report saying studies link diet soda to over 10 cancer types.
