A friend again told me, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.”

As a life long “breakfast skipper”, I’ve always questioned that wisdom of the ages.

The LA Time published an extensive piece on the science to date. (Take it with a grain of salt — there is more trash written about nutrition, than consumed.)

The breakfast hype – Los Angeles Times

To sum up, it looks conclusive that growing children do better in school if they have a good breakfast.

But in adults there is no strong consensus. A number of important studies show no disadvantage to those skipping breakfast.

On the other hand, there is certainly no downside for those who do break the fast heartily.
