omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

I like the high-speed reactivity of gas (it gets hot enough to cook almost immediately, but I can live with electric and I like the safety of induction (which was nice when young kids were about).

However I grew up in Los Angeles smog which messed up my lungs. So I may be high risk.

I'm too poor to replace stoves or choose homes based on a philosophy, though.
