There has never been a better excuse to eat ice cream for breakfast. According to his research, ice cream boosts people's reaction times and reduces their mental irritation. Yoshihiko Koga, a professor at Tokyo's Kyorin University, asked test subjects to eat ice cream in the morning. He found that the ice cream group were better at processing new information and showed faster reaction times. Professor Koga considered that the ice cream eaters may have simply been shocked into high alert by the ice cream's freezing temperature.
