Mary G. Enig

Mary Gertrude Enig was a nutritionist and researcher known for her unconventional positions on the role saturated fats play in diet and health. She disputed the medical consensus that diets high in saturated fats contribute to development of heart disease, while she advocated for a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet, rich in animal fats and coconut oil.
Along with Sally Fallon, Enig co-founded the Weston A. Price Foundation in 1999. Enig died of a stroke at the age of 83.
