So it really doesn't matter what irks you or what research you pull up from "quackwatch.org".

Very well. Here's what the AMA said in a report from Fox News:

...the American Medical Association dismissed Atkins' diet as nutritional folly and Congress summoned him to Capitol Hill to defend the plan.

Labeling it "potentially dangerous," the AMA said the diet's scientific underpinning was "naive" and "biochemically incorrect." It scolded the book's publishers for promoting "bizarre concepts of nutrition and dieting."
