Summary

This pilot study at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas tests whether a 6-week nutrition program focused on herbs and spices can help college students with poor eating habits improve their diet quality. Thirty students will attend group sessions, taste foods with herbs and spices, and receive recipes and take-home supplies. Researchers will measure changes in diet, blood sugar, cholesterol, and gut health to see if the program is feasible and effective.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Herbs and Spices Nutrition Education Program (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple, low-cost nutrition program helps college students improve their diet quality and heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early pilot study with only 30 participants and no comparison group. Results may not apply to other groups or be strong enough to prove effectiveness.
