HFCS is EVIL. I have done Atkins with success. It is amazing how much better I feel after getting all the crap out of my body (after induction flu that is). I am a firm believer that anyone with a health problem should use a diet to eliminate any food alergy or intolerance before resorting to meds. I have not tried any of the cleansing diets.
Remember that Atkins is "low carb", not "no carb".
Most people that I have encountered that criticize Atkins have not done it or have done it wrong. Misconceptions can actually cause health problems.
Evil or genious? IMO - The media and the Atkins marketing companies have really done the diet an injustice. All the low carb foods are really meant for the maintenance part of the diet, not the induction phase, but they are not going to lose a sale due to that left out fact.
