WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Educators have long considered breakfast "brain
food," as essential to learning as books and blackboards. Now there's
some science to back them up.
A new study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine finds
that children who eat breakfast not only do better academically than those who
don't, but they also behave better.
After four months, researchers found those who ate breakfast generally
had higher math grades, were less depressed, anxious and hyperactive, and
were more likely to attend class and be on time.
In fact, the breakfast-eaters often averaged almost a whole grade higher
than those who didn't eat breakfast.
