Just when things seemed clear and settled, a malicious statement of New York's Mayor brought doctor's death into attention once more. Wrongly believing that he is off record, Michael Bloomberg, Mayor, joked around dr. Atkins' death. He called him "fat", saying that all information about his head injury are "bullshit". Thus, Mayor Bloomberg insinuated that Atkins may have died from weight-related problems, not from head injuries. And all these just after he had sent widow a condolence letter. Before and after dr. Atkins passed away

Dr. Atkins' life was remarkable. His studies and efforts regarding proper nourishment, diet and an active lifestyle really helped people. Lately, dr Atkins had begun to receive international medical recognition.

While Atkins meals (high protein foods, high fat) and Atkins supplements became notorious, others suffered a severe decline. Bread and high-carbohydrate foods manufacturers were removed from market. Pizza and bread are not for Atkins dieters: those 30 million people who followed Atkins have known it for about 30 years.

it is hard to say how Atkins food chains and Atkins Nutritionals will evolve from now on. Will Atkins diet still be a popular one, after author's death? How about health officials? Will they intensify their efforts in persuading dieters to drop off diet? How about competition? They might be thrilled with Atkins' absence, since he was core of low-carb diet craze ?
