By Deanna Paul and Deanna Paul Reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow Sonia Rao Sonia Rao Pop culture reporter Email Bio Follow May 1 at 9:17 AM "Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek says his cancer indicators have gone down — but his well-being hasn’t necessarily improved accordingly.

The FDA Says It’s Safe, So Feel Free to Say ‘Yes’ to MSGJapan’s Ajinomoto is in the middle of a campaign to persuade Americans that the seasoning it has made for more than a century is safe--and maybe even good for you. They... you the media.... said it was bad. Nice to see the American press keeping us open-minded as usual. Early childhood, I would get a bad reaction to MSG. Figured it out after a while as we would get Chinese take-out once in a while. Could be an allergy to soy. I, incidentally, get the same reaction to Niacin. Hot-red flush, dizzy and unwell for a while but probably unrelated.

States weigh banning a widely used pesticide even though EPA won’tSome state and federal lawmakers want the pesticide, chlorpyrifos, banned, but federal regulators are fighting to keep it on the market. Stop using these products if you are: 'In the U.S., the most recognized brand names are Dursban and Lorsban, manufactured by Corteva Agriscience, formerly known as Dow AgroSciences.' Wonderful. Unfortunately, it is up to our states to protect us from the harmful decisions of the Trump administration. Great. Sad that at the national level the GOP still picks money over people virtually every time.
