WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's disease are women, and now some scientists are questioning the long-held assumption that it's just because they tend to live longer than men.
By Alex Dobuzinskis LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – About 30 makers of low-priced California wines including popular brands Charles Shaw and Sutter Home allow unacceptable levels of arsenic in their products, private attorneys said in a proposed class action filed in Los Angeles on Thursday. The legal action represents a challenge to a segment of the industry that produces wines that consumers can buy for less than $10 a bottle, or in the case of Charles Shaw the so-called Two-Buck Chuck product that retailer Trader Joe’s has popularized at $2. The attorneys who brought the lawsuit said the majority of wineries in the state’s $23 billion wine industry, the nation’s largest, produce a safe product. “There is more regulation in the caramel corn industry in the United States than in the wine industry, as surprising as that is,” attorney Brian Kabateck told a news conference.
