Did his diet kill him?

I see that Kutcher adopted the fruit diet and had to go into the hospital for pancreatis.
Isn't pancreatic cancer what killed Jobs? Are they related?

Yes.

According to a biographical documentary on Jobs, he died partly because he didn't use "legit" medicine to treat his cancer. Had he not relied on holistic medicines and natural treatments, and used his vast resources to get the best cancer doctors, he might have lived longer. That's just speculation though. If it's true, it's sad. I mean, it's sad anyway when anyone dies, but if it could have been averted it's more sad.

I guess that is consistent with the theme that he thought he knew better than everyone else. When you're wrong about a product, you lose money. When you're wrong about health, you lose yourself.

Ashton Kutcher followed a fruitarian diet and possibly did not go through the seven groups of fruits namely the diet typically revolves around the seven basic fruit groups so as not to be restrictive. These include: acid fruits (citrus, pineapples, cranberries); subacid fruits (sweet cherries, raspberries, figs); sweet fruits (bananas, melons, and grapes); nuts (hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews); seeds (sunflower, squash, pumpkin); oily fruits (avocados, coconuts, olives); and dried fruits (dates, prunes, raisins). He probably just ate one or two of the said groups which made it difficult in his body.

Yes.I think they are related considering that Jobs followed a strict fruitarian diet.Although fruits are healthy foods,it is very restrictive as it won't provide our body adequate levels of vitamin B-12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, iodine, and omega-3 fatty acids.This can also lead to health risks as well like pancreatic cancer for Steve Jobs' case.In anyone's diet, variety remains the best.
