Not trying to be pedantic but carcinogenic is something that _causes_ cancer, that is not the mechanism this study is describing with palmitic acid.
The study claims that palm oil promotes the growth of metastasis of an original cancer tumour. So it is not that palm oil _causes_ cancer but that it will _potentially_ promote more agressive copying of tumurous cells into other regions of the body.
