Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alcohol contributes to body fat because it is high in calories and can be turned into fat if not burned off through physical activity. It is not a nutrient, does not promote maintenance and repair in the body, and is metabolized into energy only after other energy sources have been used up. It is also not a phytochemical, which are compounds found in plants.
