Yes, lots of master cooks prefer gas stoves. Yes, 87% of children may not be affected negatively. Yes, the US has lots of natural gas. But, we can burn natural gas to produce electricity at a location far away from the homes of the 13% of children adversely affected. And the US has a lot of electricity producing capacity even without nuclear reactors, which are NOW very safe.

If you read the study, it was based on a series of rowhouses with no ventilation.
