Summary

Researchers at the University of Toronto are testing whether adding a short educational video to cooking classes at Seva Food Bank can improve diet quality and reduce type 2 diabetes risk. The video covers nutrition topics tied to Canada's Food Guide and diabetes, and was co-developed with past participants, culinary instructors, and diet experts. About 45 adults in the Peel region who are enrolled in the food bank's culinary training or cooking programs will watch the video and complete questionnaires at the start, after two weeks, and at one month. The study measures changes in diet quality, nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors to see if the video helps people make healthier food choices.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A short educational video on nutrition and type 2 diabetes, co-developed with community members and experts, shown within food bank cooking programs.
What this could lead to
If the video improves diet quality and nutrition knowledge, it could offer a low-cost way to help reduce type 2 diabetes risk in community food programs.
What could go wrong
The trial is small (45 participants) and short-term, so any benefits may not last or apply broadly. The video alone may not change eating habits.
