Mary Enig's specialty is fats. As a grad student she was arguing against
Ancel Keys and the McGovern anti-saturated fat campaign and she has long
been deeply involved in fat research and has long argued for the benefits of
saturated fats. Thus, it isn't surprising that she would dig in her heels
about that. I think she was disagreeing about dairy too, but I'd have to
check on that.

Wasn't their basic "beef" with the Paleo Diet the fat vs. lean issue? I
recall reading the review and through it a bit disingenuous - it seemed they
focused on one facet they disagreed with and then condemned Cordain and the
diet as a whole (even though it lines up fairly nicely with most of their
philosophy). Personally, I think they emphasize whole grains and milk a bit
too much (I got in a lengthy debate with one of their followers on another
list).=
