>Two studies in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association backed up this finding. Though they were funded by cereal companies, dietitians say they underscore the message - breakfast is important to weight loss. I'd be very careful here. While studies funded by private interests are probably not tampered with, the results generally are through reporting bias: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporting_bias#Reporting_biases_in_research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reporting_bias#Reporting_biases.... Basically, these cereal companies can keep funding studies and publishing the ones that serve their economic interests - the scientific world is rife with this kind of crap (seriously, this isn't a conspiracy theory, it's the norm). There are other studies that directly contradict the cereal-company ones btw: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/is-breakfast-overrated/ http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/08/21/is-breakfast-overra...
