Is our food still what it used to be? In part 2, Udo Pollmer takes a closer look at vitamins. Sometimes there are more than a hundred different substances to consider, with vitamin potency ranging from zero to 100. But nobody knows for sure. Fraudsters exploit this confusion: They trick people into believing that they absolutely need extra vitamins.

After the minerals in the first part, let's now take a look at the vitamins. We start with the folates, a group of B vitamins. A few years ago, analysts realised that our food contains other, previously unknown variants of folates. They promptly found...
Is our food still what it used to be? A question that is vehemently answered in the negative on the Internet. The fields are said to be depleted and over-fertilised. The food industry is doing its part to completely devalue our food. Udo Pollmer examines the data and commercial interests involved.

I hear and read that the nutrients in our food are disappearing. Many vitamins, minerals and trace elements have disappeared, as comparisons with older nutritional value tables show. The losses are dramatic.1-3 It started with over-fertilised and depleted soils.
Over-fertilised and depleted serves a...
The more effective, the smaller and the safer the new nuclear power plants become, the louder the cries of Cassandra sound against the horrors of the atom. Even if the reactors convert nuclear waste into energy, the engineers are sure to be rejected. Yet there are ingenious developments such as the dual-fluid reactor - which is now probably being built in Rwanda.

As many as 85,000 participants travelled to the Climate Change Conference in Dubai in December 2023, including more than...
The pebble bed reactor developed in Germany is regarded by the anti-nuclear scene as a prime example of an irresponsible energy project that has failed forever. In China, the view is different. There it was replicated, tested, further developed and put into operation. The main reason - both in Germany and in China - was its unusual safety features. However, this type of reactor still has a flaw.

When the wailing, and gnashing of teeth after the collapse of the hydrogen economy is over and reconstruction begins, solid energy technology will be in demand. One type of reactor with a future is the pebble bed reactor. In a way, it is the link between the old light water reactors and the new fast breeder reactors. However, our eco-nuclear experts had already confirmed its final demise: The decommissioned pebble bed reactor in North Rhine-Westphalia is "a symbol of failure for eternity"!1
As if in defiance, a similar reactor went online in China in Shidaowan on...
