In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig.

More than 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia. And that number could double by 2050 if more people don't take steps to protect their brain health.

Grocery stores that offer the best produce know it's crucial to nail a few key factors. First, produce needs to be fresh - that feeling when you get home and open a packet of cucumbers only to find that they're soggy and covered in slime is not a good one.

While I love a good cocktail, on a regular basis you'll find me drinking lighter options like sparkling water or tea.
