NCT ID NCT07156162
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether videos focusing on taste or health are more effective at encouraging adults to use herbs and spices when cooking. Over 500 US adults aged 18-75 who cook at home at least twice a week watched either taste-based or health-based nutrition videos. The goal was to see which approach boosts interest, confidence, and actual use of herbs and spices to improve diet quality.
