True or False: Skipping breakfast puts kids at risk for nutritional deficiencies.
TRUE . Kids who miss breakfast miss out on needed nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, riboflavin, folacin, zinc, phosphorus and iron.
What's more, breakfast skippers don't make up for these missing nutrients in other meals throughout the day, potentially leading to dietary "shortages" or deficiencies.
