Spanish biological researchers representing the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology have come to the conclusion that palmitic acid is part of palm oil. acid can act as an activator of the spread of cancer cells. 

Checking how palm oil can affect the development of cancer, scientists used the fatty acids contained in it in their experiments – with their high doses, they affected human tumor cells, which were later transferred to the body of mice.
