Dr. Richard Jacoby | The Toxic Effects of Sugar & The Corporate Food Conspiracy
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Keyboard Mechanics vs. Diet
While carpal tunnel syndrome is traditionally blamed on computer keyboards, Dr. Jacobi argues it is primarily caused by nerve compression related to sugar consumption. He notes that carpal tunnel surgeries rose from 12 recorded cases before 1960 to 500,000 annually today. This spike correlates with the 1974 introduction of high fructose corn syrup into the American diet rather than the mechanical stress of typing.
