Frankly this article is so crazy it might be true. Could it really be that eating Blue M&M's is good for your spinal cord. Of course, how many tons of them would you have to eat to repair an injury.
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center found that when they injected the compound Brilliant Blue G (BBG) into rats suffering spinal cord injuries, the rodents were able to walk again, albeit with a limp.
The only side effect was that the treated mice temporarily turned blue.
The results of the study, published in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences," build on research conducted by the same center five years ago.
