Researchers at a New York City hospital several years ago conducted a test of the widely accepted notion that skipping breakfast can make you fat.

NEVER NEVER NEVER believe any nutritional or medical information coming from the government. The government is just full of satanic, super-corrupt criminals and idiots who bow down to the people that bribe them with the most money: corporations, banks, wall street, special interests. In fact just don't believe anything at all from the government. They're always lying and always looking to betray the general public and its interests as much as they possibly can.

For an example: the government released the polio vaccine knowing that it had a cancer causing virus in it, which made cancer rates skyrocket. Cancer was once uncommon in America. Now it's one of the top two causes of death. The US government is from hell.
