A Study Says That Having Ice-cream For Breakfast Makes You Smarter But It Might Not Be True

Last Updated on 2022-10-28 , 3:29 pm

According to a research study in Japan back in 2016 which was originally published by Kyorin University professor Yoshihiko Koga, ice-cream is good for you.

To be exact, eating ice-cream for breakfast in the morning.

The study suggests that having a scoop of ice-cream when you wake up “alters your levels of alertness and gives you a mental boost.”

Participants who indulged in ice-cream for breakfast were able to process information better and had faster reaction times.

It doesn’t hurt that it makes you happier as well.

Yoshihiko Koga wanted to see if cold water could produce the same result. Unfortunately, while drinking cold water does give similar results, it’s proven that ice-cream still gets the job done better.

Not to mention ice-cream has shit loads of sugar which are essentially fuel for your mind and body.

Now, before you get all hyped up about it and start your ice cream binge early in the morning, chill out

Because it might be #FakeNews, at least according to Business Insider Singapore lah. And what they have to say is pretty legit too.

For one, there was no link to the original study.

And secondly, it was noted that the control group didn’t eat breakfast at all.

So on one hand, you have folks who ate ice cream and on the other, you have folks who didn’t have breakfast.

So it could just be that the fact that the ice cream group ate something that’s raising their mental awareness.

To drive the last nail in the coffin of this wondrous revelation, Business Insider Singapore stated they’ll be contacting Kyorin University professor Yoshihiko Koga himself to find out the facts.

The fact that they’ve yet to update the article might show that he didn’t reply to them, or the study is still considered #FakeNews.

Either way, I think I’ll stick to my peanut butter and bread for now.

How about you?
