It was only a matter of time before the attacks on the Atkins Diet picked up in intensity.  Bottom line, there are some groups that are going to feel the impact - among them anyone in the Grain Chain, and those advocating a totally vegan life style.  The group behind these so-called "Health Risks of High Protein Diets" is PCRM, an animal rights' group that is strictly vegetarian. They actually maintain a website specifically for collecting evidence that the Atkins diet is dangerous. . but do not reveal their bias.
