Blue M&Ms and spine injuries

This is the weirdest CNN main story in quite some time: blue M&M dye apparently helps spinal injuries in mice.

“The same blue food dye found in M&Ms and Gatorade could be used to reduce damage caused by spine injuries, offering a better chance of recovery, according to new research…

The only side effect was that the treated mice temporarily turned blue.”

And there’s a photo of the blue mouse to prove it.
