Legal Insurrection readers may recall that in 2023, the Biden administration seriously considered a nationwide ban on gas stoves<\/a>, blaming \u201cpollutants\u201d released by the appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the studies cited was published in Scientific American<\/em>. We documented the narrative science <\/a>and agenda-driven conclusions<\/a> that the publication offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cstudy\u201d involved 53 households<\/a>, all in California.  As I reported at that time, the findings that asserted gas stoves contributed to increased risk of asthma were based on bad science<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a review of the data from 116 separate studies<\/a> that was recently published in The Lancet and funded by the World Health Organization shows that heating and cooking with natural gas stoves is not associated with asthma in children or adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The study conducted an extensive meta-analysis and examined the health risks of cooking or heating with natural gas compared to other fuels and electricity. It found no significant association between natural gas and asthma, wheeze, cough or breathlessness, and a lower risk of bronchitis when compared to electricity. When compared to other household fuels including kerosene and solid fuels, natural gas was associated with a lower risk of several health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study\u2019s conclusion that there is no association between the use of natural gas and asthma contradicts prior claims of population incidence of asthma attributable to gas, which are only valid where a causal relationship exists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the Lancet study<\/a> (Estimated health effects from domestic use of gaseous fuels for cooking and heating in high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries: a systematic review and meta-analyses) shows that the use of gas stoves has a very positive effect on human health, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
