US physician Mehmet Oz has addressed comments linked to President Donald Trump, suggesting diet fizzy drinks may have health benefits, noting that the claim lacks scientific backing.
Eko Hot News reports that Speaking on a podcast hosted by Donald Trump Jr., Dr Oz referenced the president’s personal view that diet soda could have effects on harmful cells. However, he did not present any medical evidence to support the idea.
Health experts widely agree that there is no scientific proof that diet soda can eliminate cancer cells. Medical guidance continues to emphasise balanced nutrition and evidence-based treatments for serious health conditions.
The discussion has once again drawn attention to the president’s eating habits, which have been a topic of public conversation among close associates and officials.
US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. previously commented on Trump’s dietary preferences, describing them as unusual compared to others in his administration. His remarks came shortly after the release of the “Make America Healthy Again” dietary guidelines.
The guidelines encourage reduced consumption of processed foods and promote healthier eating habits. Kennedy noted that such recommendations contrast with the president’s well-known preference for fast food and soft drinks.
Reports indicate that Trump frequently consumes meals from major fast-food chains such as McDonald’s, along with snacks and diet beverages. Observers say this routine has remained consistent over time.
Kennedy explained that the president tends to rely on well-known food brands while travelling, as he considers them reliable. He added that Trump’s diet appears more balanced when he is at home or in official residences.
The president’s food choices have also been highlighted by political figures, including Joe Gruters, who once described a customised fast-food meal prepared by Trump during a campaign period.
Despite these accounts, Trump is often described by associates as energetic and active. Observers note that his lifestyle continues to generate interest and discussion among the public.
Health professionals continue to advise moderation in diet and encourage individuals to rely on verified medical information. They stress that maintaining a balanced lifestyle remains key to long-term well-being.
