This article spreads outright lies. Sugar and carbohydrates cause obesity not fat. Sugar and carbohydrates make you stupid, cause cancer, mental disease, Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
The problems you mention are all caused by an excess of carbohydrates, as always biology is not as simple as good vs. bad. That is why this discovery – that actually carbohydrates may have been essential to our evolution – is so fascinating. Several organs including the brain use carbohydrates for energy exclusively, so it actually makes a lot of sense.
