Re: FYI (Jodi)

Hi Jodi,

Byrnes did not die of a stroke. This is just a cruel rumor

started by a group of vegetarians who do not want higher fat and

protein diets succeeding. It has been well known that he had AIDs

for over 20 years and died from complications associated with it.

Actually he credited the high fat and protein diet for prolonging

his life and reducing problems related to the AIDs.

Hey, not that it really matters, but his own websites and obituary

say he died of a stroke.
