Of course the biggest problem with the whole thing is that when they say things like:

"It is virtually impossible to get adequate amounts of a number of essential nutrients. It contains three times the saturated fat as someone consuming an 1,800-calorie diet should."

They are using standards for nutrition that Atkins and most low-carb diet plans says are messed up to begin with. If you look at the "balanced" diet as described by the low-fat, high-carb diet favored for the past 30 years, then of course you are not going to get the right "balance" from low-carb.

The problem is that people have accepted waht is "right" and no longer question it. So they can only compare Atkins to what they have been told is "right" rather than consider the idea that the very basis for their dietary knowledge might be wrong.
