yes....some examples....butter is rich in lecithin (needed for fat metabolism), trace minerals (particularly selenium), arachidonic acid (needed for prostaglandin production), and short and medium chain fatty acids that the body uses for energy....stearic acid is THE preferred fuel source for the heart.....Coconut oil is loaded with lauric acid......most of the saturated fat in coconut oil is of the short and medium chain variety which means coconut oil is not fattening, but used for energy
