Answers:
It is formed in the liver, where it is principally composed of cholesterol, lecithin, pigments, and salts!.
Most of the salts in this liquid are reabsorbed back into the body, and are necessary electrolytes!.

To answer your question NO it isn't harmful to your body!.

When people get severe stomach upsets, they may begin to vomit a yellow substance once their stomachs are empty that is principally made up of this fluid!.

To answer another question YES! bile is always the same colour and smell!

Bile plays a vital role in the digestion of fats and is present in most mammals!.

While bile is made in the liver, between meals it is stored in the gallbladder!.

In humans, when we eat, it is excreted into the duodenum, helping to break down fats!.
In some ways you can compare bile to a detergent, since it has emulsification properties!.

Emulsification binds two substances together!.
For instance, when you wash dishes, the soap you use binds to fats and grease, helping you to remove both soap and the grease!.

Greenish substance sounds like bile!.!.!. and it stinks like !@#$!. Bile is like natural detergent and is released from the gall bladder just after the stomach!. It's structure is kind of like detergent, with a hydrophilic (charged) end and a hydrophobic tail (fatty)!. The hydrophobic end mixes with the fats you ate (and fat-soluble vitamins) and the hydrophilic end points out toward the water-based contents of your intestine!. This is called emulsion (like detergent) and creates micelles!. Micelles can then be absorbed by the body for use!.

Without bile, you couldn't effectively absorb the fats needed for brain maintenance, hormone production, and cell maintenance!. Every humans bile is essentially the same!.

I hope this answers your question!. Below is a link to some additional information for a curious scientist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
