Scientists have found that the blue dye used in M&M's help in reducing spinal injuries.  when injected in mice with injuries they healed faster.  There was one side affect.  Their ears and nose turned blue.  All skin turned blue.

Honest, this is for real, just saw it on HLN.

I'd be okay with being blue if I could walk or be able to move versus being paralyzed any day =)
