The Pancreas and small intestine break down fat molecules
The small intestine receives enzymes from the pancreas. It provides digestive enzymes for the breakdown of all three types of foods; carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.
Carbohydrates. They are the easiest to breakdown and your body saves them for intense physical activity. When you are relaxing your body uses fats for energy, saving your carbs for later.
The pancreas is the primary organ that produces lipase, an enzyme responsible for breaking down fats in the small intestine. Lipase is crucial for the digestion and absorption of dietary fats in the body.
Carbohydrates (carbs). Lipids (fats) are an example of carbs, and, when you burn them, you lose weight.
