Red face Atkins diet bad for your health (Yeah, right!)

Here is the ridiculous website I was just on. AtkinsDietAlert.org
Well guys, mark my words. I WILL find proof that the Atkins diet is harmful to your health. I have been looking for proof of this for around a year now and can't find any.
In the meantime, I will stay on the diet and continue to lose weight, feel better, and have normal diabetic blood sugars.
I was on the Atkins diet years ago and had tests done 1 month after being on it. The doctor couldn't believe they were my tests! Everything had improved HbA1c, LDL and HDL.
The site I indicated above was saying that "Studies show.....blah blah blah........Atkins can lead to heart disease, colon cancer, etc."
Ok, I will believe it if I see some numbers and tests done by a dr. with a dr's signature. But there will NOT be any!
That website is like saying, "No, honest everyone. The Atkins diet is bad for you. Yeah, that's it-bad for you. You can believe us. Um, yeah, we did tests at these prestigious universites and they prove it. No, we can't give you the actual results; just take our word for it. Come on, we're not just saying that. It's like you are implying that we want people to be overweight so we can make money which, I assure you is not true."
I can really be sarcastic sometimes, huh?

If anyone finds any real proof anywhere, please post it or email me.
Thanks.
