Same blue dye in M&Ms linked to reducing spine injury – CNN.com

My husband pointed this article out to me, hoping it would relax my position on the high fructose corn syrup laden Gatorade that comes into our home with an increased frequency during certain times of the year.

This looks like promising news for spinal cord injuries.   They are saying that when the initial injury occurs, the body rushes ATP (described as the currency of life) to the area of injury, this surge of ATP kills the remaining healthy cells at the site of the injury, worsening the injury.  For some reason, the blue dye inhibits the bodies release of ADP.   Good news.

Of course – I can’t help but wonder if the blue dye is inhibiting the flow of ATP in a sick patient with a positive result – what is it doing to healthy cells in healthy people?  My best guess is that it can’t be good.
