Very Technical, But Very good. 
Most people have a distorted view on fats and how the body uses them. Most think all or at least most fat is bad for your body.
Fat is not just fat. It's an essential part of our physiology.
This books is the unbiased truth about fats. It just lays it out there. However the book is technical.
Very good, but more technical than most of the lay public would apt to read. It's great for those studying nutrition, medicine, chiropractic, biochemistry, physiology etc...
I think she did an excellent job and it's a great reference book.

The Ethics of Food Marketing
I am currently persuing a masters in International Marketing and my dissertation area is the ethics of food marketing. Mary Enig's masterpiece has given me the first major glimpse of a similar type of lobby which the cigarette industry persued for decades,has been evident in the food industry for the last 30 yrs or so. I am trying to identify any research out there which the edible oil industry knew about and should have taken account of, when propagating their edible oil agenda. From reading Mary's book, there is a strong suggestion this research is available. Anyone out there who can point me in the right direction, please know I would be humbly grateful.
On a personal note, the coconut oil is a real treat. All my life I have been plagued by sore and septic throats around this time of year. My experience this year suggests that I have discovered through Mary's book an excellent remedy for this ailment, as at each sign of the condition asserting itself, the coconut oil has done it's thing. Thank you Mary.

Info no one else will tell you!
This information came from a PhD physician. It's not myth and Dr. Enig is not trying to sell you ANYTHING. She gives reports from studies, including "double blind", from prestigious universities. One of the main reasons we're not given this info freely is that corporations selling products that would sales would be greatly affected don't want us to know this information. In some cases we have been and are being told outright lies for the almighty dollar. Don't take my word, read the books, read the actual studies from places like Harvard that have known the truth but the truth has mysteriously become very difficult to obtain.

learn the truth about fats 
This book explains what trans-fatty acids are and which fats are really healthy. Most of the common press has been feeding us industry propaganda. This book simply explains the different types of fats and what they do. You will learn about the harmless nature of saturated fats that has been mistaken for the harmful nature of trans-fats. Most studies in the last 50 years failed to separate the two.

At Last We Know
Omega 3, Omega 6, which industry association is lying about properties of fats. These were all confusing mysteries that have been cleared up by the author in this easily understood book. I keep referring to it and feeling satisfied that I have received the definitive facts on the subject.
