Had pancreatitis because of his diet. A diet in which he thought would magically avoid creating body odor.
It turned into cancer. He lucked out that it was a rare form of treatable pancreatic cancer with a 90% survival rate 5 years out. Which is abnormal as most forms of pancreatic are essentially a death sentence. Survival rate past 3 years is under 10% for the more common variants.
Stuck to his diet anyway. Ignored his doctors. Died to an illness he had a 90% chance of beating because he knew better.
And to top it all off, it didn't help his body odour at all. He stank.
I see you also listen to Behind The Bastards.
Actually no, I think it's a well enough known thing though. But for sure he was a right cunt.
Kinda crazy, because we figured out deodorant a while ago.
He also jumped the line to get a liver transplant once he, presumably, decided maybe there’s a chance the diet thing wouldn’t work out.
Died shortly thereafter, wasting a perfectly good liver.
And that 90% is average number, it's quite possible that with his money that number would be higher...
Nobody ever said smart people can't be stupid too.

Those of us who have this problem know that your diet really does affect that. Actually others can sometimes say what we've eaten a few hours before.
However, Jobs' case is kinda extreme, usually eating less sugar and fat and more carbs is kinda sufficient.
Jobs actually believed he didn't need to take baths though, it was more extreme than just reducing his smell, he legitimately believed he didn't smell at all.
Well, there's such thing as nose blindness. If you stink always the same, you don't feel your own smell. Which is why asocial people become smelly very easily.
Jobs was clearly narcissist, though, so he'd just be in denial anyway.
