Question from tthomson
What is your thinking on gas cooktops, vs. electric?
Debra’s Answer
I have a gas stove myself because I prefer the heat control I can achieve with a gas flame.
There are disadvantages to each.
Gas can give off toxic fumes from the gas itself if there is a leak, and also can produce toxic combustion by-products. The fix is to have your stove checked for leaks, and control combustion by-products by having your stove adjusted correctly so the flame is burning well, and also use a hood vent or other ventilation to remove combustion by-products before they spread throughout your home.
Electric can produce electromagnetic fields.
Short of adopting a raw food diet, you’ll need to choose the lesser of evils.
