A group of mothers on Reddit who were looking for the healthiest options for their families recently had an in-depth discussion about replacing their gas stoves due to concerns about air pollution.
One mom kicked off the discussion. "With all the studies coming out, have you made the switch? It's pretty damning," she said.
While some commenters were skeptical, others provided sources to back up the original poster's concerns, and the OP also jumped in with additional support. "There are a ton of studies out, just Google 'gas stove health risks' — I love gas, but even I am like, 'might be time to make the switch,'" she said before linking to a Stanford news story on the issue.
If you're looking for a way to escape the dangers of gas stoves, the ideal upgrade is induction. An induction cooktop is a simple, affordable solution that runs on electricity. Not only does it heat food more quickly and save you money as you use it, but you can also get up to $840 off purchase and installation costs, thanks to federal incentives.
