Dr Mary G. Enig (circa 2000).

Mary Gertrude Enig (born 1931) is a nutritionist, consultant and director of the Nutritional Sciences Division of a firm the bears her surname, Enig Associates, Inc..

Enig is a licensed practitioner in Maryland and the District of Columbia. She has served as a Contributing Editor of Clinical Nutrition, the official journal of the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, and a Consulting Editor of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.

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.

Enig was an early and articulate critic of the use of trans fatty acids and advocated their inclusion in nutritional labelling. The scientific mainstream has now challenged 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.
