Contrary to what is trending on the internet at the moment, it seems that claims being made that Sweden has officially adopted new guidelines that endorse LCHF diets appear to be premature, although that position may change.
This commentary here discusses this and seems to provide a rationale that is probably true for the moment. It is not a debunking of the effects of the diet, but clarifies the official position somewhat.

Note: Sweden was in the early days the seedbed of LCHF and provided much of the early scientific progress in its transformation from Banting to LCHF, It was also the first country worldwide to condemn LCHF as being dangerous to life and to be avoided. This dichotomy still lives on.
Here is an article on the web about the supposed change alledgedly made by Sweden, so must be viewed with eyes open to what I posted above. However, I think it is a good article anyway, and has good referenced material.
