I don't know if they know it yet, but they have lost.
When it boils down to it, people want to loose weight. The social pressure is such that they are willing to use dangerous and unhealthy methods to achieve this goal. Those means have included taking drugs and undergoing surgery.
They can lecture all they want Atkins is dangerous, people will try it if they think it will give them results.
So now the medical profession has no choice to run studies to prove everyone Atkins is bad. Unfortunately for them, all the studies seem to be proving the contrary.
So they try to explain away the results, but it's getting harder and harder. As as the studies cummulate, they are getting fairer because SOME people are starting to loose some of their long-standing preconceptions.
The damn is cracking and leaking, soon it will give way altogether.
