Blockbuster documentary '$tatin Nation' reveals the great cholesterol cover-up; watch the trailer here


(NaturalNews) An amazing new film that questions the false medical
narrative on statin drugs has just been launched on the Natural News
video delivery platform. Called "$tatin Nation," the film features a
dozen interviews with top medical doctors, authors and even patients who
are now standing up and publicly questioning the medical myths we've
all been taught about cholesterol and statin drugs.

Promising to expose the "Great cholesterol cover-up," $tatin Nation is a must-see film for anyone currently taking statin drugs or considering taking them.

Cholesterol drugs are based on the intentional misreprentation of medical evidence

$tatin Nation is the first film to publicly question the Big Pharma narrative on statin drugs. It explores these three shocking facts that are now emerging in the medical literature:

1) People with high cholesterol tend to live longer

2) People with heart disease tend to have low levels of cholesterol

3) Cholesterol-lowering on a population level does not reduce the rate of heart disease

Huh? But your doctor told you exactly the opposite, right? That's because your doctor has been brainwashed or bribed by the drug companies that now generate $29 billion dollars a year from selling statin drugs.

Meet filmmaker Justin Smith

Justin Smith, the creator of $tatin Nation, is also the author of $29 Billion Reasons to Lie About Cholesterol. He has a degree in engineering and was a competitive cyclist before turning to research and filmmaking.

Here's some Q&A with Justin Smith:

Why did you make this film?

I
have made this film out of sheer frustration with the current
situation. To date, most of the information that people receive about
this subject is provided directly or indirectly by the pharmaceutical
companies. This information is heavily biased, of course, toward
increasing company profits, with a disregard for peoples' health.

In the film, you raise some important issues concerning statin medications. How would you like people to react to this?

My
approach, with this film, is to provide people with information to make
better informed decisions about their own health. Each person should
make a personal decision about the issues raised. I hope that the film
will prompt more people to ask their doctor important questions like: if
I take this cholesterol
medication, how much longer might I live? This question is important
because most people will not receive any life extension from statins.
While statins may, in some cases, slightly reduce the risk of heart
problems, at the same time statins also increase the risk for other
serious diseases. So, overall there is usually no net benefit.

There
is some evidence that cholesterol medications can be beneficial for
middle-aged men who have already had at least one heart attack. However,
the benefit here has got nothing to do with cholesterol lowering. It
relates to the positive effects that statins can have on inflammation
and plaque stabilization. In this situation, there is some life
extension, but it is difficult to say how much. The life extension even
here may still only be a few days or weeks and this, of course, has to
be balanced against the adverse effects of statins.

In addition,
there is a well established connection between low cholesterol levels
and a shorter life span. So, even if the statin was beneficial during
middle-age, the adverse effects are likely to drastically outweigh any
positive effects as the person reaches old age.

Was the film commissioned / How was the film funded?
I
desperately wanted to make this film and I knew that getting it
commissioned would be difficult and time consuming. Therefore. I
invested some money myself and managed to raise money from crowd
funding.

In addition, I managed to build a crew of people who are
also passionate about this subject and would be willing to work on a
deferred payment basis. The crew have all been willing to defer their
payment until the film is released.

Originally, I planned to go
through the traditional route (festivals and commissioning editors etc.)
once the film was finished. However, I am concerned that this might
take several months to a year, possibly longer, and I have a burning
desire to expose this issue as soon as possible.

Personally, I
feel that the timing is right to present this information to people. I
hope to gain the interest of a major broadcaster in the UK, in the
United States, or elsewhere but in the meantime I plan to release the
film online via video on demand.

Do you think that people can freely consume cholesterol-rich foods?

Well,
the idea that saturated fats and cholesterol simply clog-up the
arteries has never been proven scientifically. It was just an idea.

In
addition, there are many fascinating facts, such as the foods that
contain cholesterol also contain large amounts of the nutrients that we
know protect the heart. We have been told to avoid cholesterol-rich
foods, but these foods often contain antioxidants and high levels of
vitamins that keep our arteries healthy.
