Cognitive effects depend on nutritional composition of breakfast and characteristics of subjects. Effects on cognition in children depend on BF composition (macronutrients, GI, calories), nourishment (malnourished, well-nourished, obese) and IQ. In adults, cognitive effects of BF also depend on BF composition as well as on glucose tolerance and whether or not they eat BF habitually. Contrary to the broadly accepted belief, high-CHO BF may negatively influence cognition in well-nourished children. Also quite contrary to the common view of healthy eating, high-fat BF improved cognitive performance in adult habitual BF eaters. Chronic and/or acute conditions, wherever the information is available, are specified in the text.
