This just in! Apparently recent studies have shown that fat cells are extremely active in regulating many body functions, not unlike other glands of the endocrine system. Where did I read that?? I'll try to track down the source.

That's fat stored in the body - it is an integral part of the endocrine system....yes, I've seen it.
I was, however, talking about dietary fat - it is considered neutral when eaten since it doesn't stimulate digestive hormones when consumed like protein, carbohydrate and alcohol do.
