I'm going to hazard a guess that excess consumption of carbs has more to do with it than the carbs themselves.

Vegetable oils are the culprit I'm picking out.

They first started as industrial waste from the cotton-picking industry, until companies found ways to detoxify it enough for human consumption.

How do you know if they had cvd?

TL;DR No, this is pretty wrong.
