Fat provides energy to the body by being broken down into usable forms such as ATP through processes like beta-oxidation. While some vitamins are fat-soluble and can be stored in fat cells, fat does not stimulate the production of vitamins and minerals or speed up chemical reactions. It also does not play a role in the absorption of dietary fiber.
