This might be the best news we have heard in a long time, and just in time for Summer!

New research out of Japan claims that eating Ice Cream for breakfast can actually make you smarter!

Subjects in the experiment saw an increase in brain power if they had 3 spoonfuls of ice cream first thing in the morning.

The subjects in the experiment had to use a computer to complete several mental exercises and researchers found that after eating the ice cream, the test subjects did better on the exercises.

Researchers believe the coldness shocked the brain awake quicker than just a normal breakfast. They also found that anything that was "ice" cold gave the test subjects a benefit but ice cream provided the biggest boost.

So this summer ditch the diet and wake up with some ice cold Ice Cream!
