    But those 2.5 years are wasted waiting for the electric stove to heat up so it’s a wash.

      The gas stoves themselves aren’t the only reason, but they help contribute to a lower lifespan. Also 2 years over the course of, like, 75 years? Yeah that sounds about right

        No, that doesn’t sound right. Even with totally unrealistic assumption that stove kills every victim at birth, it would need to kill ~2,5% of all newborns. Bullshit

        Edit: I’m absolutely astonished that my previous post got more downvotes than upvotes. It shows the scale of failure of the education system

      Thanks for the non-paywalled article. It produces absolutely no evidence though. or even an explanation or theory. One mention of benzene, which is a well known dangerous substance, but also highly flammable. So unlikely to be produced by burning any gas, and no link to a source. So that sounds like scaremongering to me. If anyone knows how to make benzene out of methane, let me know and we’ll patent the process. The one link to ‘research’ is one that just shows correlation, not causation.

      I mean here in tx we rarely open our windows. It’s either searing hot or freezing cold. The MAYBE two or three weeks it’s nice outside are hardcore allergy season so nuts to that …
