I guess it depends on your definition of “directly”. Like does falling off a building directly cause death, or is that the deformation of one’s skull?
The difference is the medical definitions of cause and factor. Lack of breathing will cause death. Obesity from eating too much sugar is a factor. If it was a cause eating too much sugar would CAUSE it to happen every time. It does not.
