Rumors have been swirling for months about Apple CEO Steve Jobs and his rapid weight loss. Jobs, who had a battle with pancreatic cancer, said in a statement today:

“I have been losing weight throughout 2008…doctors think they have found the cause: a hormone imbalance that has been robbing me of the proteins my body needs to be healthy.”

Jobs is staying on as Apple CEO with full support of the board. The company’s stock has been hit hard with people unsure which direction the company may go without its founder if something was to happen to the 53 year old mastermind.

Here is his full letter that he posted on Apple’s website:

Dear Apple Community,

For the first time in a decade, I’m getting to spend the holiday season with my family, rather than intensely preparing for a Macworld keynote.

Unfortunately, my decision to have Phil deliver the Macworld keynote set off another flurry of rumors about my health, with some even publishing stories of me on my deathbed.

I’ve decided to share something very personal with the Apple community so that we can all relax and enjoy the show tomorrow.
