@sandy0257 : May I ask what the benefit of prunes is? I have Osteopenia. Trying to deal with via a product called Calciven. Bone density test coming up after one year. Will post to this site once I have results.

. The Landmark "Prune Study" (2022)
The most significant evidence comes from a large-scale, 12-month randomized controlled trial led by Pennsylvania State University.
• The Findings: Women who ate 50 grams of prunes (about 5–6 prunes) daily for one year maintained their total hip bone mineral density (BMD), while those who ate no prunes lost significant bone mass.
• Inflammation Control: The researchers found that prunes reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are known to trigger bone breakdown.
