Then you know Atkins was a cardiologist and it was his clinical
experiences with the failure of the low fat suggestions that led him to
pursue low carb. And that when he tried to publish his tabular data it
was refused because it wasn't double blind.

As you are now also insisting on double blind I'll agree with Dogman
that you are indeed a part of the problem. Statistical tabular evidence
is valid in science. Read (again) Gregor Mendell's original study on
inheritance in pea plants. I suggest this time you go for the audio
version on librivox.org.

He never did publish that data and now that he's dead it's gone. Rather
like the story of Nikoli Tesla in that particular. I think he should
have published it posthumously but he didn't and there's little evidence
that he continued gathering tabular data once he switched from trying to
publish in journals to successfully publishing in the popular press.
