Statin Nation
Statin Nation
We are told that cholesterol is a major cause of heart disease. At least 40 million people are currently taking cholesterol-lowering medications, known as statins, and millions more people are avoiding foods that contain saturated fat and cholesterol. The basic idea is that dietary saturated fat raises cholesterol levels, and these two substances somehow clog-up our arteries, causing a heart attack. This idea is often referred to as the diet-heart hypothesis. However, a number of doctors and researchers have been challenging this hypothesis for decades, and the latest heart disease statistics reveal some alarming facts.

Mother: Caring for 7 Billion
Mother: Caring for 7 Billion
Mother, the film, breaks a 40-year taboo by bringing to light an issue that silently fuels our largest environmental, humanitarian and social crises - population growth. Since the 1960s the world population has nearly doubled, adding more than 3 billion people. At the same time, talking about population has become politically incorrect because of the sensitivity of the issues surrounding the topic- religion, economics, family planning and gender inequality. The film illustrates both the over consumption and the inequity side of the population issue by following Beth, a mother, a child-rights activist and the last sibling of a large American family of twelve, as she discovers the thorny complexities of the population dilemma and highlights a different path to solve it.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This film is fascinating, informative, and disturbing exploration of sugar's history and current impact. A 'must see' for all people, families, and should be shown in every school. Period.

Even though midway claims of evil capital forcing sugar on people is emotional, not aimed at fixing the issue, psychological aspect of addiction depriving people of their potential, makes it the most valuable propaganda to date. Production quality seems rather the matter of time and budget. Silliness while unnecessary is fairly compensated with accessible factual load. Haters pay a lot of attention to calories being equal and thus think this documentary is nonsense but they ignore facts of psychological reaction specific to sugar. Sugar makes people feel love. It's mostly people raised in communities deprived of love altogether - like south USA, aboriginal reservations or undeveloped societies of post-soviet and Asian states. For anyone who still can't get it how to live without added sugar or flour just do what motivational coach said at the end of the film - try to prove it yourself that living without sugar is good for everyone. No need to fear the change - you can always go back to your previous diet but I'm pretty sure you won't have the desire to do so.

nothing mind-blowing. but that does not mean that they are unimportant.the film will again make you remember about the dangerous food labyrinth that we are in. really a responsible attempt for our kids. it will tell you how omnipresent the sugar is. it's almost every where.the bottom lime is: AVOID PROCESSED / PACKAGED FOOD & DRINKS. EAT AS NATURE GIVES US.eat a fruit in it's original shape, not just the juice. Why? because it's harmful. avoid so-called health food / drinks : they all contain harmful quantity of sugar... ........good and praiseworthy attempt. hope, i'll remember them when someone offers me a coke.

This documentary is very biased like most documentaries. He says low fat yet he has chicken which is fat. Secondly lactose has way more problems that fructose do your own research. Also he blames everything sugar is involved in yet whole fruits have proved to reverse diabetes check out ALL HCLF mainly fruit eaters and find out for yourself. Also check out this documentary, Sugar V Fat The documentary is on You tube to watch IMDb has a trailer for it as well http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3564506/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Two twin doctors one goes full fat meat diet and the other sugar vegan diet. The end result will astonish all who watch this film. The sugar eater lost actual fat went further from diabetes and became more coherent in everything. The fat eating doctor became almost diabetic, lost weight but gained body fat and lost muscle, and was much less coherent.Lastly check out this You tube channel: NutritionfactsWhite sugar and lactose has its problems, but this guy had sodas which contain aspartame (much much worse) caramel colouring(again much worse) etc... Please do your research before believing this highly biased film that is out to plainly attack all good things about a good diet!!!
