Prune power: study tests if dried plums boost bone health in older women

This study looks at how eating dried plums (prunes) might help reduce bone loss in women after menopause. Researchers want to know if prunes change immune cell function and gut bacteria. Thirty women aged 60-75 will eat prunes or their normal diet for four weeks at a time, and provide blood and stool samples. The goal is to understand the connection between diet, gut health, and bone strength.
