However I would add a caveat about a reader potentially taking an understanding from the message presented here that refined sugar is somehow less of a problem in health because the author may implicate seed oils more as directly contributing to obesity. I would suggest it is more a case of And And in terms of harms. As we understand much more about the importance to our health of a healthy microbiome (gut flora), the fingerprint of refined sugar is certainly heavily involved in contributing to deleteriously affecting our beneficial bacteria.
In processed foods, it seems that cheap seed oils AND sugar travel together a lot of the time. This is why I almost never buy anything in a package, nothing processed at all.

In processed foods, it seems that cheap seed oils AND sugar travel together a lot of the time. This is why I almost never buy anything in a package, nothing processed at all.
What would apparently be a good thing:
-- run designed experiment comparing both variables(sugar, seed oil) as main variables; study interaction effects;
-- publish conclusions to suss out which variable predominates.
that is, answer the obvious question posed here.
If i eat refined sugar on a regular basis, I get fatter. If I exclude cookies, muffins and other goodies, I keep the weight off.
This is why I gave up all booze over a year ago, and started drinking black coffee.
Keep the fat off
