A recent independent analysis, commissioned by the California Restaurant Association and the California Building Industry Association (CBIA) and conducted by Catalyst Environmental Solutions, found that natural gas stoves are not a significant contributor to poor indoor air quality in residential homes.
The analysis examined various existing studies and government reports and concluded that there is no significant link between respiratory illness and gas stove usage. The primary driver of health risk when cooking is the type of food being cooked, rather than the fuel used to cook it.
The report suggests that proper ventilation, such as a fan above the stove, is more important than the type of stove used. The report also emphasizes that media reports may misrepresent research findings regarding the link between gas stoves and respiratory health.
“This study is really just to address the misnomer that ‘people may want it, maybe it cost less and it’s easier to get, but you’re killing people.’ That’s just not true,” Dan Dunmoyer, CBIA’s president and CEO, told Fox News. “This study really just points to the fact that there really is not a health impact based on the fuel source.”

What else is new but watch this government still ban gas stoves
So a study commissioned by a restaurant Association whose main business is to serve food mainly cooked on gas equipment and has the most to lose declares that it’s fake news? Must be true
Based on this study we need to urgently ban 🍳 cooked foods.
