原文:

 Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? And does eating a morning meal help us maintain a healthy weight?

The breakfast-is-best    1(教条、教理、武断的意见)   is based on a blend of cultural tradition and science (and more than a little cereal marketing.)
 
Some of the earliest evidence goes back to the 1960s, when researchers in Alameda County, Calif., documented residents' everyday habits. The long-term study linked eating breakfast — along with other lifestyle choices, including a good night's sleep and regular exercise — to improved health and longevity.
 
But in recent years, this association has come under more    2(详细审查、细看、监视)  . And what's emerged points to a more complicated conclusion.
 
For instance, researchers in Canada who studied the habits of about 12,000 adults concluded that "breakfast consumption was not consistently associated with differences in [body mass index] or overweight    3(流行、普遍、广泛、患病率)  ." And a recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that, when it comes to weight loss, breakfast eaters do no better — or worse — than people who skip the morning meal.

译文参考:

早餐真的是三餐之中最重要的吗?坚持吃早餐会帮助我们维持健康体重吗?
 
“早饭不可少”的说法基于文化传统和科学研究(其中甚至有谷物市场的添油加醋)。
 
最早的证据可以追溯到20世纪60年代,加利福尼亚州阿拉梅达县的研究者们记录了居民的日常习惯。保持健康延长寿命的秘诀包括吃早饭、高质量睡眠和定期锻炼。
 
但是近年来,人们开始对这种说法产生争议。由此得出的结论更加复杂。
 
例如,加拿大学者根据对12000位成年人习惯的研究得出结论:早饭的摄入与否与身体质量指数或肥胖概率并无太大关联。还有近日在《美国临床营养学杂志》上的一项研究称,吃早饭的人还不如不吃早饭的人减肥效果好。
