Absolute nonsense, horsepucky, fake news, alt-med supplement advertising woo.

Sugar and plant seed oils are not "the cause" of "all modern disease."

If that was true, then ALL people who abstain from sugar and plant seed oils, would NOT have ANY modern diseases. Since SOME do, then your statement is false.

Posts that insist on absolutes (all, always, never, "the" instead of "a", none) are often (see what I did there?) hyperbole, rhetoric, and/or logical fallacies.

Italians have been enjoying sugary carb breakfasts for centuries, and "modern diseases" is not epidemic in Italy.

One might posit, instead, that OVEREATING sugar and plant seed oils CONTRIBUTES or CAN TRIGGER MANY modern diseases.

That is more likely to be true.
