In a July 2024 study by Penn State, it was said,
“This is the first randomized controlled trial to look at three-dimensional bone outcomes with respect to bone structure, geometry and estimated strength,”
“In our study we saw that daily prune consumption impacted factors related to fracture risk. That’s clinically invaluable.”
“When we look at bone mineral density, we’re looking at how much bone there is, but we also want to know about the quality of the bone. When we look at a three-dimensional picture, we can look at bone structure, geometry and micro-architecture. In other words, it tells us how good the bone is,”
“It’s pretty exciting data for a 12-month study,”
“We were able to maintain and preserve bone at the weight-bearing, cortical bone of the tibia and the maintenance of cortical bone and bone strength is key to avoiding fracture.”
