questionaries of the children at the<br />
ages of 6 and 12 and through their IQ<br />
with academic achievement reports.<br />
The 6-year long results showed that<br />
children that had normal, regular<br />
breakfast patterns were linked with a<br />
higher IQ and enhanced cognitive<br />
function, especially with consumption<br />
of grains and meat or eggs.<br />
Therefore, since there is no evidence<br />
that that mineral and vitamin<br />
supplementation aids in academic<br />
performance, it can be concluded that<br />
the actual consumption of food<br />
(breakfast) is what helps students be<br />
more attentive and increase learning<br />
throughout the school day. Free<br />
breakfast programs at schools have<br />
shown through research to enhance<br />
all cognitive functioning, attendance,<br />
and school performance in students.<br />
Thus, eating breakfast is the best way<br />
to improve the ability to learn in<br />
children and increase school<br />
performance.3
