I would be very careful about taking anything in this study at face value. Be sure to look at available responses before taking advice from the Atkins, Inc. folks.

Palmitoleic acid is a MUFA and while it may be true that it can act as a biomarker, there is an insanely huge amount of research against there being any direct deleterious mechanism of action for this fatty acid. To the contrary, palmitoleic acid is often shown to have protective, insulin sensitizing effects. More on that later, but come on. How can you write that when even perusing Wikipedia should cause pause!

But let me ask you this. When was the last time you heard that saturated fat caused an increase in the saturated fat circulating in your blood and that THIS was the cause of heart disease? Answer: Never!
