Gas stoves causing health issues?

[Anonymous]

I read this article (I know its not the best source) but it has me alarmed and considering changing out my stove. Can any actual medical people give an opinion on this?

Related, I'm considering going with an induction, and some fear monger over in Food and Cooking said that those cause cancer too and put a bunch of magnet waves at my children's head height! Now I am paralyzed with indecision.

I turn the vent on every time I cook on my gas stove. Mine is a real vent that sucks the air outside, not the kind that just blows air around the kitchen.

Oh my God, I have a gas stove and a gas fireplace.

I really think you can take this off your list of things to worry about. That belief is pretty fringe.

There was a long, long thread about this literally last week. Might want to use a search option occasionally. No gas is not causing health issues. Stop the drama.

It's bad for the environment and increases CO2.

This is why when our Wolf goes, DH wants induction.

Yes. The only reasonable way for us to go to minimize climate change is to electrify everything, and then carbon-neutral electricity production. Some places are banning natural gas connections to new homes and phasing out sales of gas stoves.

I don't have gas anything in my house but...is it just the stove that's causing the issue? Does the same concern come in to play when it's gas heat? Or a gas hot water heater? It says that the stove leaks gas even when it's off. Is that not true for these other items as well?

I have read numerous articles which all point to studies and health and environmental experts being so concerned they removed the gas stoves as a result of the studies. I don’t think it’s fear mongering.

We are getting ready to renovate our kitchen. We have a crappy electric glass top but I will probably go induction for the new one. I’m glad I saw this before we renovated because I used to love cooking on gas and was looking forward to it again.

We lived in a country where we needed air quality monitors in our house. The air quality took a massive nose dive when we use the hair dryer and when we used the gas range.

We've been thinking of getting an induction too but we just got new pots and pans and would have to replace all of them so soon.

Well this is OP...all that stuff is in my basement where no one is on a regular basis. but I think the stove is unique in the constant leak aspect?
