from what I've seen and researched it's a multifaceted issue. Sugar as many have identified but also low quality fats like vegetable oils and low quality carbs, as well as a sedentary lifestyle that doesn't make use of the carbs as an immediate energy source. And all of these things are in HUGE abundance everywhere, it's no wonder we've gotten fat and sick as a society cuz these damn things are combined in so many foods and they are fucking EVERYWHERE. Huge portion sizes too.
dose is the poison. sugar, low quality oils, low quality carbs, lack of activity
cut back heavily on the sugar
avoid garbage cooking oils like vegetable oil and its many seed based derivatives - stick with butter, beef tallow, coconut oil, olive oil and other oils extracted from the flesh of stuff
carbs. problem is twofold, abundance in so many dishes and not actually using them. if you train and do alot of physical activity they are a beneficial source of energy and restock muscle glycogen stores, but pack on the body fat when you eat a crapton and don't make use of them. not to mention the abundance of junk carb sources in american foods that combine the sugars and low quality oils mentioned before.

in the modern era, one's light diet trumps food diet. But hardly anybody pays attention to their light diet, and that's a big problem.
Do you mean exposure to different light sources like the sun, screens etc?
The importance of vitamin D through Sunlight cannot be understated.
