“Funding from the California Prune Board supported this work” is at the end of this article. Gives me the buyer beware of claims viewpoint - maybe it helps, maybe not so much. The fact that many of those in the group consuming the larger amount daily dropped out of the study gives me pause on these claims. Just my opinion.

It's strange that articles on this topic always focus on prunes rather than what the prunes contain that affects bone loss. If it's polyphenols, prunes have a high concentration but there are lots of other sources. I wish they'd be more specific.
