I was reading some health articles tonight online and I found this article that was just too good not to share with the EmpowHer community. Scientists have apparently decided that they can use cotton candy--yep, that sweet and yummy pink stuff we all loved as kids and probably still enjoy--to help grow tissue.

Talk about thinking outside of the box...I'd love to meet the scientist who originally came up with this idea and ask him or her how it came about. But when you read this story and visualize what they are describing, it really does make perfect sense!
