ould M&M’s do more than satisfy your sweet tooth ?Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found the food dye used in blue M&M’s and Gatorade could be used to reduce damage caused by spine injuries.
When they injected the compound "Brilliant Blue G" into rats suffering spinal cord injuries, the rodents were able to walk again, but with a limp.
The only side effect was that the treated mice temporarily turned blue.
Researchers are planning to apply to the FDA for permission to do human tests.
