List,
As promised, the fruits of a little research I did on bone-friendly
diet:
FOODS FOR BONES
Framingham Osteoporosis Study (abstract) finds base-forming foods
associated with higher bone mineral density and less BMD loss.

Table of base- and acid-forming foods

From the Surgeon General’s Report on Osteoporosis, a table showing
various nutrients and their impact on bone health (including some that
are acid-forming, contrary to the Framingham Osteoporosis Study
referenced above).

colas, but not other soft drinks, associated with lower bone mineral
density.

And here, from a woman in New York, the beef bone soup recipe that may
be a great idea and is charming besides:
I do what my wise mother-in-law European peasant woman did for bones:
Soup:
cow feet, or veal shank bones, or beef marrow bones. Chicken innards
just for taste.
Vegetables as in whatever is in the fridge that you don't need for
anything else.
Bay leaf, any other herbs
1 tsp cider vinegar (not salt!!!)
Cover with water. Simmer for 6 to 8 hrs. Strain and cool. Skim off
the fat. Drink a cup every day or use as the base for any soup (or
build a house out of what is in the container after you skim off the
fat).
