Quick Glance: Consumer Reports' Investigation on Pesticides in Food
- A recent study by Consumer Reports revealed that certain foods contain a concerning amount of insecticides and that green beans exhibited residues of pesticides prohibited for over a decade.
- The analysis showed that specific fruits and vegetables present a higher risk due to the type of pesticides detected on them.
- Both watermelons and green beans are classified as high-risk items because of the pesticides present. It was noted that watermelons harbored the pesticide Oxamyl.
- Even though traces of residues were detected in small quantities in food, they can pose significant risks, especially for children or pregnant individuals. Opting for organic products is advised to mitigate pesticide exposure.

Quick Glance: Ghana's Bondholder Agreement on the Horizon, IMF Official Says
- Ghana reaching a restructuring deal with holders of its international bonds is seen by an IMF official as a matter of time rather than insurmountable obstacles.

- The IMF announced that a new staff-level agreement for the second review of its $3 billion loan program with Ghana would release a $360 million tranche once the country and its official bilateral creditors finalize an MoU in line with the program.

reuters.com/markets/ghana-fails-reach-debt-deal-with-bondholders-2024-04-15/
Quick Glance: Ghana Fails to Reach Debt Agreement with Bondholders
- Ghana was unable to reach an agreement with a group of international bondholders to restructure $13 billion in debt. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the bondholder group rejected parts of the proposed plan.
- The IMF argued that the agreement was not aligned with a debt analysis that determines a country's capacity for debt. The bondholder group, among other things, declined the option to maintain the original value of the bond with a longer term and lower interest rate.
- In December 2022, Ghana, the world's second-largest cocoa producer, defaulted on a majority of its $30 billion external debt, following a surge in debt costs and inflation as it was cut off from international markets.
- The failure of the debt agreement represents a setback for Ghana's efforts to recover from default and economic crisis.

nytimes.com/2024/04/26/health/menthol-cigarettes-ban-biden-fda.html
Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban
- The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.
- In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'
- According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.
- A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

cnn.com/2024/04/11/health/measles-us-elimination-status/
Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
- A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
- With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.
- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.

Why malaria remains one of the world’s deadliest diseases: Why malaria remains one of the world’s deadliest diseases
nation.africa/kenya/health/why-malaria-remains-one-of-the-world-s-deadliest-diseases-4599508
Quick Glance: Combatting Malaria: Challenges and Solutions
- Progress in reducing malaria has stalled in recent years, especially in African regions. Pregnant women, young children, and other vulnerable groups continue to have limited access to malaria services.
- Infants and young children are disproportionately affected by malaria, especially in poorer households in sub-Saharan Africa. Pregnant women are at increased risk of malaria due to immunity loss.
- Refugees, migrants, and indigenous peoples are also at higher risk of malaria and often lack access to necessary services.
- Climate change and humanitarian emergencies contribute to making vulnerable populations more susceptible to malaria. Measures like combating discrimination and integrating malaria control interventions into universal health coverage can help achieve a malaria-free world.

Quick Glance: Unanswered Inquiries Regarding Advancing Avian Flu in U.S. Cows
- The advancing spread of avian flu in U.S. dairy cattle continues to raise numerous questions. Scientists emphasize the minimal risk to humans, but uncertainties persist regarding the dissemination and impact of the virus.
- Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.
- Researchers express concerns about potential public health implications, the infectivity of the virus in milk, and its transmission. Only one human infection has been officially recorded amid the ongoing outbreak.
