Of course, none of this says that whole grains are bad for you, yet -- at least in the US, and judging from the behavior of most people on the Atkins diet and the makeup of most foods that are marketed with the "Atkins" label -- everyone's giving up carbohydrates without even ever having tried quinoa or teff or spelt or barley or millet or probably even brown rice or whole-wheat bread that isn't just white bread with a little food coloring added.
...also, this article comes off as being fairly non-credible since it seems to buy into the whole "the reason so few nutrition experts will tell you that the Atkins diet does any good is that they're all on the payroll of the evil grain industry" conspiracy theory. If the evil grain industry really wanted to promote a diet that would make them lots of money, they'd promote a diet that mainly consisted of meat and other animal products, since they make far more money when their products are fed to animals who are then eaten by humans than when their products are directly eaten by humans.
If they're on the Atkins diet then, barring the first couple of weeks, you shouldn't be off carbohydrates, and whole grains ought to be an integral part of your diet.
