Some Aren't Buying Steve Jobs' Hormone Imbalance

Comment

Posted: January 5, 2009

Steve Jobs' announcement today that a hormone imbalance is the root of his health problems doesn't fly, so says Dealbreaker:

Personally, with all due respect to Jobs, I suspect the mock turtleneck is being pulled over our eyes. "Hormone imbalance"? Please. Sorry, not buying it. I don't know how we're being lied to--he may not actually be dying, and in fact "hormone imbalance" sounds very pre-op, voluntary, and the first step toward Stephanie Jobs--but we're not yet convinced this is the full story. As an aside, it's heartening to see the Apple CEO is still feeling himself, as evidence by the last line of the following letter, which strikes the typical Jobsish dismissive tone. Take comfort in that.

Here's the last line of the letter:

So now I've said more than I wanted to say, and all that I am going to say, about this

Zing. Here's the full press release. Of course, Apple fans are praying for a surprise Jobs appearance at the Macworld Expo this week.

Is he vegan?

Some of the veg websites indicate Steve isn't even a vegan, but in fact eats fish.

His vegan diet

is most likely *not* the culprit. There is nothing in a standard American diet that can't be obtained from a vegan diet, except cholesterol. What, specifically, in full-fat cheese would settle one's stomach and improve health? (Especially considering that most humans are lactose-intolerant to some degree.)
