He disputed "stories of me on my deathbed" but admitted he had been "losing weight throughout 2008" and said, "The reason has been a mystery to me and my doctors.

But both conditions cause weight gain, not loss. Another possible cause is celiac disease, in which a gluten intolerance diminishes the body's ability to absorb nutrients, but that's a digestive order, not the result of a hormone imbalance, Lustig says. What's more, almost none of the hypothesized disorders involving hormone imbalance and protein deficiency can be treated with a basic change...
