Abstract Abstract): Objectives:The aim of this study was to assess how the glycaemic potency (blood glucose

(BG)-raising potential) of breakfast is associated with cognitive function (CF) in school children, taking into

account important confounders, including iron status, underlying physiological adaptations and socio-economic

status.Methods:Sixty children aged 11-14 years were selected on the basis of having breakfast habitually. Their

breakfast and any snacks eaten on the morning of the study were recorded. They were categorized into four

groups according to the glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) of the breakfast: low-GI, high-GL; high-

GI, high-GL; low-GI, low-GL and high-GI, low-GL above or below the median for GI=61 and GL=27. BG levels

were measured in finger-prick blood samples immediately before and immediately after the CF tests.Results:A

low-GI, high-GL breakfast was associated with better performance on a speed of information processing
