Collagen Candy? Hmm..

Who would of thought that a small lump of pale pink sugar has (and shall no doubt increasingly) become the source of much debate? Once the bane of mothers trying to protect their little darlings from the perils of these sugary blobs, they themsevles will perhaps now find Marshmallows irresistable..though of course not for the same reason.
According to Eat Yourself Beautiful, the miracle mallow's creator, Collagen (the substance in skin which allows skin cells to repair and grow) decreases noticeably in the body with age, hence why skin doesnt stay so plump/firm. They believe that taking Collagen orally allows the body to fully recieve the benefits (and avoids the painful/risky procedure of surgery) and decided on these fleshy lumps of sugar to carry the goods.
Unconvinced.
