Food-Related Carbonyl Stress in Cardiometabolic and Cancer Risk Linked to Unhealthy Modern Diet
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Overall the structure and contents of the manuscrit fit with the aim. However I would suggest to add a table in the section 3 where the food and dietary intake dose with AGE would be detailed.
Also some comments:
Line 300-309: more references on AGE absorption are needed
Line 344: figure 5 are not extremely needed

Overall the structure and contents of the manuscrit fit with the aim.
We thank the Reviewer for providing us with positive comments and useful suggestions.
However I would suggest to add a table in the section 3 where the food and dietary intake dose with AGE would be detailed.
As requested by the Reviewer, a Table reporting the AGE content in common foods and beverages has been added in section 3 of the revised manuscript. Both AGE content per 100 g and per serving size have been indicated.
Also some comments:
Line 300-309: more references on AGE absorption are needed
Two new references (#116 and #117) on AGE absorption have been added in the revised manuscript.
Line 344: figure 5 are not extremely needed
We understand the point of view of the Reviewer 1 that Figure 5 is not entirely necessary, especially in order to convey a quantitative message. However, we think that panels A, B, C, and D may help the reader to follow the argument and understand the text more deeply. Therefore, we have eliminated panel E and left only the graphs in Figure 5.
