british-englishmeaningprepositions

My mother language is not English, so please give me a clear explanation of what does "of such" mean in this sentence? I could not find an equivalent in my language. The sentence is:

encourage humans to overeat and sells them pharmaceuticals to alleviate the negative consequences of such a gluttonous diet.

Best Answer

“Of such” is not one word. It is not part of the same construction either.

The general sentence:

Encourage humans to overeat and sells them pharmaceuticals to alleviate the negative consequences of (Object).

Here, the object is (such a gluttonous diet). This is referring to the diet that was just mentioned in the text. You can replace the (Object) with something else as well.
