The busy bodies are hard at work today. Here's your daily dose of how to live a better life.

We obviously need federal regulation of toasters and must require HEPA particulate filters on them. I hope the Dem Presidential Candidate clown circus gets on this right away. This is far more important the epidemic of lynching that is going on across the land.

Vance said at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science …

Properly called the American Association for the Advancement of Pseudo-Science. They are political rather than scientific, and have been one of the biggest domestic pushers of the climate change hoax.

The funding of this study HOMEChem came from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

They have a program called Chemistry of Indoor Environments. The turgid description below can be used to describe so many such similar programs...

The program makes grants to achieve a series of interrelated goals.

• Generate new knowledge by directly supporting original, high-quality research to identify indoor chemical sources, characterize the chemical and physical transformations taking place indoors, and determine how indoor chemistry is shaped by building attributes and occupancy.
• Develop a modeling consortium to improve the cohesiveness of the community and its ability to integrate findings.
• Build a thriving, multidisciplinary research community of chemists; environmental, civil, and mechanical engineers; architects; atmospheric scientists; microbiologists; and environmental health experts that will endure beyond the program’s timeline.
• Train the next generation of scholars and practitioners. An important component of this program is introducing new voices into the field and training the next generation of researchers.
• Develop community-wide research protocols, and norms.
• Advance capacity for discovery through development of new tools for data collection, sampling, analysis, and visualization.

Here is a video of researcher Marina Vance talking about HOMEChem: Indoor Chemistry: An Emerging Science. It's had a whopping 128 views in seven months.

HOMEChem gave a $76,000 grant to the University of Texas, Austin to analyze building performance data of the UTest House for HOMEChem. UT's investigator is Atila Novoselac.

Wikipedia says the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation makes grants in seven broad subjects, known within the foundation as major program areas:

• Science
• Economics
• STEM Higher Education
• Digital Information Technology
• Public Understanding of Science, Technology & Economics
• Working Longer
• Energy & Environment

"Influence Watch" shows a very different list of recipients: "The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has made donations to these recipients." Lots of left-wing kook causes on the list:

• Abt Associates (For-profit)
• American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (Non-profit)
• Bipartisan Policy Center (Non-profit)
• Brookings Institution (Non-profit)
• Carnegie Endowment for International Peace (Non-profit)
• Center for American Progress (CAP) (Non-profit)
• Council on Foreign Relations (Non-profit)
• Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) (Non-profit)
• Institute for Women’s Policy Research (Non-profit)
• National Academy of Social Insurance (Non-profit)

No wonder my grandmother only made toast in a skillet tasted much better and you could make it any color you wanted so there.

[EnglishOnly]

keyword..... could.

[catnipman]

“Researchers in the US found the least harmful way to make toast was to turn the bread a light golden brown rather than burning it’

handy tip ... i’ve apparently been doing it wrong ...

[PA Engineer]

The scientists must be suffering from Grain Brain.

When I was a kid on family vacations, I always loved walking into a diner in the morning and being enveloped by the smells of coffee, toast, bacon....and cigarette smoke. I am lucky to be alive.

Thanks for posting!

Actually, everytime my daughter burns toast my asthma kicks in. So I don’t question the study result. Turn of the toaster, turn on the fan.Use albuterol Inhaler. I become an exile from my own house. (Burnt microwave popcorn does the same thing as well as Women’s Perfumes both of which were major problems at work.)

This is a daily dose of information you can use to keep living if you have asthma!

Hopefuly this is not one of those “ As you are I was, As I am you will be,” sort of things. Its information people review and decide if it applies to their own life.

Again, thanks and Regards!

If they think burnt toast is bad they should see my cooking set off the smoke detector.

[fruser1]

This won’t stop anyone from blaming 2nd hand cig smoke for anything.

[beethovenfan]

...and monkeys COULD BE flying out of my a$$.

[motor_racer]

In other words, Traffic fumes are less toxic than burnt toast.
