The first recommendations published in Sweden were published in the 60s. They have changed very little on a macro level.
Before that people are traditional food, which usually was quite healthy if you had at least some economic means (otherwise it was a lot of rye, fish and potatoes in Sweden).
With the economic growth after the war people started deviating from healthy dietary patterns, which is why nutrition recommendations start popping up from the late 50s.
Who are we supposed to trust with nutrition if not the people that actually work with understanding the science? I do know that the USDA have quite a lot of industry influence, but that is not the case everywhere.
Most dietary recommendations look like the Mediterranean diet, which we know have very good health outcomes, with local adaptions. For a good reason.
