The timing certainly is suggestive but far from conclusive. Like Erin said, it could've been that he would've gotten sick anyway. His immune system may even have been depressed
because of the raw food diet.

Huh. Smug close-mindedness from Steve. I guess you're human after all.
Steve, it's awesome that you've found a path that works so exceptionally well for you but it seems like a mistake to assume that's the
only viable path, especially given individual variation.
As others have pointed out, the Inuit lifestyle is not what it traditionally was. The article you cited attributes their poor lifespan to the crowded poverty in which they live and poor access to medical services. It's a similar story to other displaced indigenous people such as Australian Aborigines.
Indications are that Inuit who live a traditional lifestyle have lower levels of diabetes etc.
You said that a raw fruit diet is valid, but not in conjunction with even a moderate fat intake. Even amongst those comparatively few Inuit with a traditional diet, lets not assume that adding chips and soda pop to it makes no difference.
