Advanced Spinal Cord Injury Treatment

Does Food Dye May Hold Promise?

Blue Food Dye May Help Prevent Secondary Injury

Who would've though that blue M&Ms could hold the key to spinal cord injury treatment? Researchers may have found the connection between "Brilliant Blue G" food coloring found in M&Ms and Gatorade and prevention of secondary injuries in traumatic spinal cord injuries.

In spinal cord injury cases, there is the initial traumatic injury to the spinal cord, which is then followed by swelling and a secondary, additional injury to the spinal cord as the result of that swelling (which occurs hours after the initial injury). This secondary injury typically worsens the paralysis.

Apparently, the Brilliant Blue G, or BBG, may stop some of that swelling that leads to the additional spinal cord injury and paralysis. At least, according to some scientists at University of Rochester and reported in the National Academy of Sciences: Science Daily: Common Food Dye May Hold Promise in Treating Spinal Cord Injury.
