atkins is horrible, your bodies #1 source of nutrients are carbs. You can't just eat protein. You're only supposed to eat large amounts of protein if you NEED it, such as athletes. Even fats are necessary to your body.

The most controversial part of the diet is that it places no restriction on fat intake.

Many health professionals in published articles even have expressed concern about the implications of a high fat diet that is encouraged by Atkins and the Atkins book has dismissed them. That's the problem. I think they are liable if it can be shown that this man's health problems resulted from the high fat Atkins diet.

Different physiological conditions will be affected differently. Thus that view does not take into consideration previous debilitating ailments, or genetic predispositions or what have you. If this particular person had health problems before, you cannot simply harp on Atkins since evidence of their success can be found in many others.

Without looking at this link because I'm lazy, I'm going to side with Atkins. Unless he falsified research to sell his diet, there's nothing to hold him liable for.

if doctors publish things agsint the diet and people still buy it, its the persons fault.
