According to Daily Mirror - News, Dr. Mehmet Oz described Trump arguing that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass when poured on it, so it must also kill cancer cells inside the body. Trump has made similar claims directly, with Ilta-Sanomat reporting that he described a drink as good for him because it kills cancer cells. In defense of his father, Donald Trump Jr. suggested Trump might be onto something, citing his energy and stamina at nearly 80 years old. According to Ilta-Sanomat, Donald Trump Jr. described many people approaching their eighties as lacking Trump's energy levels, memory, and stamina. Trump has also bragged about passing a cognitive test that he said was not easy, though the specific test and his exact scores remain unknown.
According to Daily Mirror - News, medical experts say there is no scientific evidence that diet or any soft drinks can kill cancer cells in the human body. Umar Razzaq, a registered UK pharmacist for over 20 years, described such claims as arising from misunderstandings of basic chemistry and human biology. Dr. Andy Gaya, a consultant oncologist, explained that the body tightly controls its acid levels, so drinking soda does not make the body acidic enough to kill cancer cells. According to Daily Mirror - News, Dr. Andy Gaya described the body regulating acid levels to prevent this effect. Whether other medical experts beyond those quoted share the same view on soda and cancer is not fully documented.
This is good for me, it kills cancer cells.
Trump's affinity for soda drinks is well-documented. He has a button in the Oval Office to order a cola drink from staff, and he is known as a fan of Diet Coke. According to Daily Mirror - News, Dr. Mehmet Oz described an incident on Air Force One where Trump had a Fanta on his desk and claimed it kills cancer cells. Ilta-Sanomat reported that Trump described a drink as freshly squeezed, questioning how it could be bad for him, though the full extent of his dietary habits and their impact on his health remains unclear.
Recent observations have raised concerns about Trump's physical health during his second term. Bruises have been seen on his hands, and he has been noted resting his eyes in public appearances. The cause of the bruises on his hands is unknown, and it is uncertain whether Trump's claim about soda killing cancer cells was made seriously or as a joke. These factors contribute to ongoing scrutiny of his well-being.
It's freshly squeezed, so how could it be bad for me?
Okay, okay. But maybe he is on the right track. I know a lot of people who are approaching their eighties – many do not have his energy levels, memory, and stamina.
