Chelation therapy criticism
In 2008, Atwood told the Associated Press that the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy, which had been approved in 2002, "should never have been approved." In 2009, Atwood was one of the authors of a journal article that called for the termination of an ongoing clinical trial of chelation therapy, on the grounds that it was "unethical, dangerous, pointless, and wasteful". The piece attracted both criticism and support in published exchanges which followed.

When the trial results were presented at an American Heart Association meeting in 2012 Atwood described its output as "equivocal as predicted" and reasserted his view that the trial had been unethical.
