Bile does NOT digest fats. It is NOT an enzyme, therefore, it cannot break down lipid molecules into smaller nutrients. What bile does is it HELPS enzyms to digest fats by emulsifying the fat molecules. This means the surface area is increased, thus enuring a more efficient and quicker digestion of the lipid molecules. This process takes place at the top of the small intestine, in the duodenum, as this is where bile is secreted from the gallbladder, through the bile duct and onto the food.
