[1.2] - #Palm oil contains a large amount of saturated fatty palmitic acid [1.3] [#Autism] - omega-7 monounsaturated #Palmitoleic acid, (9Z)-hexadec-9-enoic acid (below the level of detection in 87.0% of future ASD but present in 43.5% of controls), and palmitic acid (elevated in future ASD). #Palmitoleic acid has been associated with a decreased risk of islet and primary insulin autoimmunityReferences Notes[ ]
