  Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is necessary for their life.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told and told again, is as necessary as putting gas in the family car before starting a trip.

  But for many people the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite(尽管)all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available(可得到的),the number of people who didn't have breakfast increased by 33 percent from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.

  For those who feel pain or guilty(内疚的)about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years show that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong without having breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance, ”said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”

  Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly not proper, and most of the recent work relates to children, not adults.“The literature, ”says one researcher, Dr.Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor”.
