Palm oil and coconut oil contain especially high levels of this fatty acid, other sources are butter, cheese, milk and meat. Excess carbohydrates in the body are also converted to this fatty acid that down-regulates glucose and protein metabolism. Consumption of palmitic acid  is similar to eating trans-fats as it increases risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. 
​It can also compromise bone health.
