Yes, there is research about prunes and bone health. See the following:

There is also research about eggs and bone density.

I have read all of the studies that you shared. Thank you! They are confusing to me. How many dried prunes should a 118 pound woman eat a day? Should they be spaced out or can you eat them all at once, as I have been doing? Are dried prunes better for bones than wet? Is the study about eating eggs every day inconclusive? Thank you so much for helping me with these questions.
