Although humans must breathe oxygen to stay alive, oxygen is a risky substance inside the body because its use can result in the production of free radicals. Unless quickly neutralized by antioxidants, these overly reactive, oxygen-containing molecules can damage the cell structures around them.
When vitamin K is used by an enzyme to alter proteins, it too is altered. This altered vitamin K is then regenerated and reused continuously in what is called the vitamin K cycle. During this cycle, vitamin K functions as an antioxidant, inactivating free radicals that would otherwise damage the delicate fats that are the primary constituents of our cell membranes.

Obesity is actually caused by engineered food oils.
Engineered food oils were first introduced into the human food chain in the 1930's...
...obesity and Type 2 diabetes stats began to climb from this time.
The dynamic works like this...
...human body cells are produced from the products of oils.
Quality natural oils produce soft/slippery cell membranes that easily absorb sugars and other nutrients...
...engineered food oils using heat and chemical extraction methods...
...produce stiff/sticky cell membranes that frustrate the easy passage of sugars and other nutrients.
When the cell does not get sufficient sugars, it signals for more...
...which raises the blood sugar levels and insulin...
...the excess sugar is transported to the liver and converted to fat and stored...
...this feedback crisis eventually produces obesity.
This process can be reversed by eliminating engineered food oils...
...and replacing them with natural cold pressed oils...
...as cells turnover, the new cells are soft/slippery...
...and after a few months cell numbers reach a critical mass...
...and the feedback crisis ends and the obesity begins to reverse.

I would just like to add if this has not been added already that sodium aids water retention.
People who train physically might take a little bit of extra salt to aid in water retention to thus not become dehydrated, for example.
The water retention, especially in regards to the face, can make you appear chubby.
I agree with the OP that sodium is a factor but the biggest factor is laziness/lack of exercise.

Sodium is both an electrolyte and mineral. It helps keep the water (the amount of fluid inside and outside the body's cells) and electrolyte balance of the body. Sodium is also important in how nerves and muscles work.
Most of the sodium in the body (about 85%) is found in blood and lymph fluid. Sodium levels in the body are partly controlled by a hormone called aldosterone, which is made by the adrenal glands. Aldosterone levels tell the kidneys when to hold sodium in the body instead of passing it in the urine.

I keep an open mind, what foods are high in this engineered food oil, what do you eat to avoid them, what are some names of engineered food oils?

The traditional oils were fish, butter, flax (linseed), coconut.
Some of these have been 'demonized' by western medicine but if these are introduced into the diet they produce heathy cell membranes that easily absorb sugars and nutrients and stop the feedback crisis that causes Type 2 diabetes, obesity and elevated cholesterol.

You don't include olive oil, a staple to the Mediterranean region for thousands of years.
People in countries on the Mediterranean diet - olive oil, fish, cheese, yogurt, red wine etc - used to produce good stats on obesity. The last 20 years with processed food and fast foods encroaching their numbers are as getting as bad as America.
