All things Ralph...

If you knew that a gas stove increased your child's chances of developing asthma would you still cook with one?

I knew a guy who fell through a rather high ceiling in such a way that his chest hit his step ladder. The X-rays revealed a heart aneurysm that had to be fixed immediately. Luckiest fall he could have made.

Oh, sure it's fun to talk about such things while driving on an interstate or flying out of a state-of-the-art airport or praising the strongest military the world has ever known, or using GPS or...

I have taught with some incredibly beautiful women.

I met plenty of veterans at the American Legion who would frown upon using the flag as clothing.

My pregnant wife had a horse do that to her. She just slid off its butt and landed on her feet with no negative repercussions.

So where does this leave families with a history of asthma and allergies? According to Kansas City allergist Dr. Jay Portnoy, people don’t need to kick their gas stoves to the curb just yet.

The study looks at the population in general, he explains, and doesn’t measure the actual physiological effects of gas stoves on children. It also doesn’t prove that gas stove use causes asthma symptoms, says Portnoy, who is in the division of allergy, asthma and immunology at Children’s Mercy Hospital and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Rather, the study shows that in states where gas stoves are more common, asthma rates are higher. Portnoy cautions, however, there could be many other factors at play.

The allergist says that in homes with gas stoves, especially those without proper ventilation, nitrogen oxide levels can be higher. However, it’s just one of dozens of substances that can be problematic.

“It’s one of many things in an environment that might contribute to asthma symptoms, so people should be aware of it. But I don’t recommend that you tear out your gas stove,” he says. “Really, it’s just something for scientists is to point to and say, ‘Maybe we should do more studies to find out how much this matters.’”

In the meantime, Portnoy says people should ensure gas appliances are regularly inspected and properly maintained. They should also turn on the range hood whenever a gas stove is in use.

“Those types of interventions can make a house with a gas stove a safe place to live,” says Portnoy. He adds that fireplaces, tobacco smoke and air fresheners are far more harmful to indoor air quality.

They must be horrible people for respecting the US Flag Code, to hell with them.

Technically speaking Noah only needed to take one worm on the ark as they can reproduce asexually.
