Accusation #4:
AtkinsFacts.org of Relies on Outdated Critiques
Furthermore, by devoting a significant portion of your critique to the first edition of Dr. Atkins' diet book, published in 1972, you impart the misleading impression that Atkins has not incorporated the numerous advances in medical and nutritional research (such as the recognition of lipid subclasses as risk factors for heart disease) that have since occurred.
First of all, most of the over 500 references we cite are from 2002 or later.[836]
Second, the official condemnations of the Atkins Diet from the medical authorities of the 1970's continue to hold weight to this day. According to your own website, the Atkins Corporation claims that that the basic tenets of the Atkins Diet have remained "consistent since 1972,"[837] insisting that "nothing in the earlier books is wrong."[838] The medical authorities back then, and to this day, disagree.[839]
