abstract:Rule Of The Bone is a 1995 novel by Russell Banks. It is a Bildungsroman, or Coming-of-age story about the 14-year-old American narrator, Chappie, later dubbed Bone (named for a tattoo that he gets), who, after having dropped out of school, turns to the guidance of a Rastafarian Jamaican migrant worker.
Although the statins seem to be most effective at building new bone, the researchers could not rule out the possibility that the drugs were also inhibiting the breakdown ofbone, which could make them a candidate for osteoporosis prevention as well.
