JUST BRAIN CELLS –
April 15, 2026 – “Your dad argues that diet soda is good for him because it kills grass – if poured on grass – so, therefore, it must kill cancer cells inside the body,” Oz said on Triggered with Don Jr, the president’s eldest son’s podcast. Oz then described a recent moment onboard Air Force One.
“You know, we were on Air Force One the other day, and I walk in there because he wants to talk about something, and he’s got an orange soft drink on his desk. He’s got a Fanta on the desk,” Oz said. “And I say, ‘Are you kidding me?’ So he starts to, like, sheepishly grin. He says, ‘You know, this stuff’s good for me – it kills cancer cells.’” Oz, a cardiothoracic surgeon and television personality who now leads the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services also recalled Trump joking that Fanta, which is made with orange juice from concentrate, could not be unhealthy because it is “fresh squeezed”.
