About this title

Review:

“Sugar Crush brings laser focus to the powerfully detrimental role of sugar and carbohydrates as direct toxins not just to the peripheral nerves, but to the body in general. This is up to date and incredibly well-researched information that helps rewrite our understanding of disease prevention.” (David Perlmutter, MD, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Grain Brain and Brain Maker)

“Dr. Jacoby has the uncanny ability to recognize relationships in seemingly unrelated fields...Now, he ushers us into a new paradigm by ‘connecting the dots’ for the treatment of neuropathy.” (Dr. Robert G. Parker, DPM, FACFAS, FASPS, PA, Fellow of the Association of Extremities Nerve Surgeons)

“Sugar Crush is a great contribution to the lay literature. Another weapon in our fight against obesity and diabetes!” (John P. Cooke, MD, PhD, Presidential Distinguished Chair in Cardiovascular Disease Research, Director of the Center for Cardiovascular Regeneration and Chair of the Department of Cardiovascular Sciences at Houston Methodist Research Institute)

“An intriguing detective story, readers interested in their own health, and the health of their families, will treasure Sugar Crush, and use it as a roadmap to improved health.” (A. Lee Dellon, MD, PhD, Professor of Plastic Surgery and Neurosurgery, Johns Hopkins University)

From the Back Cover:

Sugar =
Chronic Inflammation + Trauma =
Nerve Damage, Pain, and Dysfunction

Do you suffer from ailments your doctors can't seem to diagnose or help—mysterious rashes, unpredictable digestive problems, debilitating headaches, mood and energy swings, constant tiredness? If so, nerve compression is likely the cause.

What Grain Brain did for wheat, leading peripheral nerve surgeon Dr. Richard Jacoby now does for sugar, exposing the shocking truth that a diet high in sugar, processed carbohydrates, and wheat can compress and damage the peripheral nerves of the body, and lead to pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and feet, as well as a host of related conditions, from migraines, autism, and ALS to gallbladder disease and diabetes.

Over the years, Dr. Richard Jacoby has treated thousands of patients with peripheral neuropathy. Now he shares his insights and tells the story of how he connected the dots to determine how sugar is the common denominator of many chronic diseases.

Practical and accessible, Sugar Crush breaks down our dangerous addiction to sweets, offering a unique, holistic understanding of the toll sugar and carbs take on the body, and demonstrating how dietary changes can help nerves regain their normal function dramatically.

Whether you have diabetes or prediabetes, or are even just concerned about your health, Sugar Crush is the essential guide to knowing the dangers of nerve compression. Complete with dietary advice, the latest thinking on ways to prevent and reverse neuropathy, and a quiz to help you assess your nerve damage, this book will give you the tools you need to quit sugar, calm your nerves, and reclaim well-being.
