ugar is in the news a lot these day and it’s clear that the consumption of sugar is one of the biggest global health concerns today.  What most don’t understand, however, is how a diet full of sugar and carbohydrates can be linked to severe, life-threatening diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, MS, and cancer.  Dr. Jacoby’s goal is to correct this.  In SUGAR CRUSH, Dr. Jacoby puts forth the groundbreaking argument that Carbohydrates (sugar) + Trauma = Nerve Damage, Pain, and Dysfunction.  This is the sugar crush, and it happens when too much sugar in the blood triggers nerve compression, causing chronic inflammation in the nerves.  Inflamed and damaged nerves cause reduced blood flow and the disruption of important messaging between the brain and organs.  Simply put, damaged nerves cause damage to the organs they connect, meaning sugar is the potential root cause of a wide host of diseases
