genau das gegenteil ist der fall.
nur wenige studien kamen zu negativen ergebnissen. und da die nem gegner hier so zahlreich aktiv waren, können wir recht sicher sein, dass wir die wichtigsten anti-nem sachen schon gesehen haben.
und dies bitte beachten: sie wurden wissenschaftlich widerlegt.
natürlich findet man im netz ein haufen anti-nem meldungen.
wer sich aber die mühe macht, da mal genauer hinzusehen, der erkennt, dass all diese meldungen auf eine hadvoll anti-nem studien zurückzuführen sind, die wir im thread schon längst hatten und - dies bitte beachten- die wissenschaftlich entkräftet wurden.
du kannst ja mal nachsehen, wieviel von denen negativ sind und wieviel positiv. und vor allem: wer hat die besseren argumente:
