Compassion is not an excuse for a Reality distortion field. This killed Steve Jobs and might kill many more.

Pancreatic cancer killed him, you absolute nitwit.

calling people names won't change the fact that his life-long diet caused his cancer and killed him. You should read what the research is saying in place of being here offending people that by their personal experience agrees with the finding that "fructose in diet enhances tumor growth".

You are not the only person with experience with this kind of cancer in the family and have no compassion for the many sugar addicts going through cancer getting served fruit juice when they go to the hospital, which is poison for them.

It's not even a fact that it was a life-long diet.

It's certainly not a known fact that it caused his cancer. You don't know. Nobody knows.

Steve Jobs was not a life-long fruitarian. He dabbled in all sorts of different diets. According to Walter Isaacson’s biography he seems to have generally lived as a pescatarian. Interestingly enough that diet is considered one of the healthier ones.

Obviously Steve Jobs should not have delayed his surgery. I understand that people are angry that a man with his means was still able to get a transplant and all the medical care that is unavailable for the rest of us. I understand. However to assume that his disease (and death) was the result of a diet choice when there is no credible evidence for it seems rather absurd.

That's something I never heard. Are you angry because Steve Jobs got a transplant?

Have you tried reading the research in the post before commenting?

I am not angry however that was a sentiment often linked to the fact that he delayed his surgery.

> Have you tried reading the research in the post before commenting?

Unless I missed a comment there was absolutely no serious research shared that credibly connects let alone confirms that his death was connected to this diet choice.
