'When it comes to indoor air quality of cooking, the main driver of health risk is what you are cooking,'
FIRST ON FOX: A new independent analysis published Thursday morning concluded that natural gas-powered stoves are "not a significant determinant of residential indoor air quality."
The analysis — conducted by the California-based Catalyst Environmental Solutions and commissioned by the California Restaurant Association and the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) — examined dozens of existing studies and government reports. It concluded that existing research doesn't establish a significant connection between respiratory illness and gas stove usage despite recent media reports.
"When it comes to indoor air quality of cooking, the main driver of health risk is what you are cooking, not the fuel that you use to cook it," Dan Tormey, president of Catalyst Environmental Solutions and chief author of the report, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "A secondary finding is that the most effective way to protect your health during indoor cooking is to have proper ventilation."
In early January, a member of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) told Bloomberg that "any option is on the table" regarding a potential gas stove ban and that unsafe products can be banned, noting gas stoves were a "hidden hazard." He added that the idea that cooking had to be done on gas stoves was a "carefully manicured myth."
In the report, Bloomberg highlighted research published in December showing gas stoves were tied to childhood asthma cases.
However, the Rocky Mountain Institute, a pro-electrification group that funded the study, later walked back the findings and the White House denied that it was interested in banning gas stoves. The Department of Energy, though, has moved ahead with strict restrictions on future stove purchases and the CPSC has asked for public comments on safety of gas stoves.
"When it comes to indoor air quality of cooking, the main driver of health risk is what you are cooking, not the fuel that you use to cook it," Dan Tormey, president of Catalyst Environmental Solutions and chief author of the report, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "A secondary finding is that the most effective way to protect your health during indoor cooking is to have proper ventilation."
Tormey noted that emissions produced by heating fish in oil, for example, may produce a large amount of emissions, sometimes enough to trigger a home's fire alarm. He said those emissions are more detrimental to respiratory health than whether the food was cooked on a gas stove or electric stove.
"It is the entire act of cooking, not just the natural gas, but other elements," he continued. "What you're cooking, the method you use to cook. And, in addition, [existing] studies don't separate out other factors."

it makes you wonder if someone just made a bet or something. This was a top pick for "most clownish" thing of 2023.
And hasn't Cali already put this into law?

New sweeping analysis debunks reports blaming gas stoves for respiratory illness

Surprise, surprise....
My words are as an opiner, a layman, someone who is not vested in the 'control paradigms' being foisted upon us all.
Someone, somewhere "decided" another way to 'alter the behavior' of people is to continually frighten them... and thus, the idea of "How about if people thought there stoves and ovens were hurting their children?" was born. Never mind that the research they hinged their propaganda efforts was not really "all there" and kind fo shoddy biased work? Don't think so?

[bold and underline is mine]
Bet I'm not wrong is stating that the whole process of "independent-expert" studies is a world of lies and obfuscation...
They have once again proven that we can never simply "believe" what they say anymore... rendering their very existence meaningless in terms of factual truth.
This is the moral of the story:
"When it comes to indoor air quality of cooking, the main driver of health risk is what you are cooking, not the fuel that you use to cook it," Dan Tormey, president of Catalyst Environmental Solutions and chief author of the report, told Fox News Digital in an interview.

Spread the word... they are full of crap, and only want us to "suffer more" in the name of "control."

Im surprised they aren't telling us natural gas is causing enlarged hearts, strokes and massive heart attacks among children and athletes.

It seems they are throwing everything out there right now to mask the vaccine injury stats. There seems to be an uptick in kidney damage commercials and stories too.
