In GCBC, Taubes refers to one researcher who discovered accidentally that insulin was directly atherogenic, i.e. caused atherosclerosis, by injecting insulin in dogs. This would constitute vascular and tissue damage, wouldn't it?

Carbohydrate drives insulin. Atkins is low carb. Thus, Atkins would mitigate tissue and vascular damage, not exacerbate it.
