Dr Enig has written peer-reviewed articles for scientific journals, mainly on fats and oils research and nutrient/drug interactions, and is a well-known invited lecturer at scientific meetings and a popular interviewee on TV and radio shows about nutrition.
Trans-fat debate
Enig was an early critic of the use of trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional labelling . After many years the scientific mainstream is now challenging the food product industry's use of trans-fat-containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, and various jurisdictions around the world are now banning the use of trans fats and/or requiring its presence in food to be marked on labels.
