Show Notes
Osteoporosis accounts for more days in the hospital than other diseases like breast cancer, heart attacks, diabetes and others. Multiple studies suggest prunes may help to prevent bone loss. In addition, prunes and prune juice contain fiber and naturally-occurring sorbitol, which contribute to digestive health.
Shirin Hooshmand, PhD, RD is an associate professor and researcher who studies the effects of bioactive compounds in foods on bone health. This episode is sponsored by Sunsweet Growers.
