Evolution does not care about creating perfect bodies, that's not how it works. Aging and death are superpowers of an unique arrangement of matter, not bugs.
We know diabetes and other issues come from changes humans introduced in our diets, not faults in the evolutionary process.
The text draws from a weird mixture of religious influence (it's not explicit) that lowkey estabilished things should be perfectly designed (in science, mentioning "design" is an issue; fine but aged badly in science communication). It's just not the correct framing to be educational about how our bodies work, and sets up wrong expectations about what we know of nature.
Now sure, others say that retinoids play a role here, but "we know" sounds a bit far fetched.
