You say that you read a translated version of it. Where would I find this translation? Thanks! Loving these interviews. It got me thinking ... why does it seem like EVERYONE is on the low-fat band wagon? Surely there is diversity of minds and policy within the world. I can understand why within a country (USA for you, Australia for me) there is governmental policy pro low-fat, but why everywhere?? Where did EVERYONE seem to get this misinformation from? And why does it seem like they're so hell-bent on 'enforcing' it?! I found Dr Dahlqvists blogg but can’t read a word. You say that you read a translated version of it.

But we've won a big victory and those dietitians are having their little pity party right now. This avalanche is gonna sweep across INTERNATIONAL borders if I have anything to say about it! :D Oh, I agree Nils that the battle is far from over.

Judging from the debate, it is not the doctors who are whining - the dieticians are (I saw an interview with one of the two original tattletale dieticians - she took Socialstyrelsen to task for not requiring at least 4 years of study, saying she always recommends a "balanced diet"). What may or may not be more important - there have been official voices asking for comparative studies. Only they are fully aware that good studies are prohibitingly expensive, and who would have an economical interest in the outcome? Avalanches all start small, some grow to sweep away all in its way - some don't. We hope this one will grow and grow - even across national borders.

But they're just gonna have to cry like a baby in the corner somewhere because the truth has been spoken. And I agree with you the low-fat dogma is indeed a "faith." Nils, whether they permit or promote, the fact is livin' la vida low-carb is now on the table as a viable option alongside low-fat. That is HUGE! The dietitians and doctors can whine and complain while having their pity party for themselves, but the science has spoken. As Dr. Dahlqvist said, it's a step in the right direction. :) You are right, Ulf! But they’re just gonna have to cry like a baby in the corner somewhere because the truth has been spoken.

Still, it is indeed a major paradigm shift - one violently opposed by dieticians, who feel the obvious threat to their official status. We haven't heard much yet, but this surely takes the edge off arguments for the dangers of high fat. Socialstyrelsen are planning a revised version of their treatment recommendations for diabetes - I wonder if anything will really change? Annika will be in Swedish TV the coming Thursday - looking forward to this. It isn’t so much a matter of “promote” as of “permit”.

I suppose that they truly believe in the low fat, high fibre dogma and have a hard time accepting that a low carb, high fat diet is OK. Even when there's solid science supporting it! The low fat dietary dogma is simply based on "faith" and second-rate epidemiological studies. Well, to be honest, a lot of dieticians and doctors here in Sweden are outraged by this decision.

We'll get to that point someday soon in America which means people like me and you need to keep trumpeting this cause.

But, we know the critics will do all they can to discredit her. Thanks again for all the work you put into this. Very interesting and what a boost for low-carbers here in the USA!
