There is a consensus regarding the universal significance of breakfast (BF) for health, wellbeing, and cognition
We argue against the prevalent viewpoint of the universal benefits of BF by selectively highlighting issues demonstrating the complexity of the cognitive effects:
Summary
Edited by: Andrew Scholey, Swinburne University, Australia Keywords: cognitive performance, children, adults, metabolic stability, skipping breakfast, breakfast composition, intermittent fasting, intermittent ketosis. Studies showing cognitive effects of BF vs skipping BF in large mixed cohorts of children (e.g., Wesnes et al, 2012) are often lacking metabolic and nutritional specifics. This creates uncertainty regarding the metabolic consequences of BF. CHILDREN WITH DIFFERENT IQs nourishment and children’s intelligence influences the cognitive outcomes of skipping BF occasionally. Those with IQ above average (>100) increased the speed of information processing, which negatively correlated with blood glucose levels. Contrary to the effects of GI, glycemic load had Frontiers in Human Neuroscience www.frontiersin.org
