The Press, once regarded as a news-distributing mechanism, has reduced itself to a whorehouse.
Stanford researchers recently claimed to have found a link between childhood respiratory illnesses and the use of gas stoves.
The study, which was reported last week across multiple national news outlets, posed an interesting contrast to a study in February funded by the World Health Organization and published in The Lancet that found no such link and appeared to received no mention in any such outlet. ...
Well, that's simple: The Lancet is in English, not American.
And there's no DOOM and GLOOM in The Lancet's study.
And the Lancet tells the story that you expected: gas stoves pose much less risk than wood- or coal-stoves, and slightly more than electric ones.
