Enig's discussion is thorough, and a necessary correction to the nutrition science and food industy's deceptions concerning fats and cholesterol, all in the service of marketing transfat-laden food. However, the book is not that "user-friendly" for the non-scienfically-inclined, who are concerned about eating and health.

A better layperson's guide that covers the scientific and the everyday uses of edible fats and oils, is "Fat Chance: Surviving the Cholesterol Controversy and Beyond," by Dennis Willmont. He references Enig extensively in his scientific discussion, but then offers a detailed users guide. I'm not sure it's available thu Amazon yet. But, its out there. Google it

This is a great source of information on fats and oils, and even though I also have "Nourishing Traditions" and "Eat Fat, Lose Fat," I still felt that I learned something new. My health certainly has improved since I've incorporated more saturated fat in my diet.
