Reviewer 3 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsDear authors
Age category needs more clarification in all the histograms and tables presented in the manuscript. The first three were in order: 1/day, 2/day, 3/day, while the next three were 6/week, 14/week, 21/week, i.e. almost the same if they were divided by the number of days of the week. . This is despite the contradictory results presented for each group.
Although aflatoxins target the liver, the study did not pay attention to the difference in health status and enzymatic activity of the liver, as well as the dimensions and weight through sound waves of those under study and before starting it.
The methods, tools, and mechanism for collecting data are not completely clear.
The planning of the experiments and the statistical analysis of the evidence and results are unclear, which makes these results mere observations that cannot be relied upon.
There is no clear recommendation or conclusion indicated by this study, despite the importance of the topic at hand, which requires reformulating it in another way.
Comments on the Quality of English LanguageDear
I think the language is very clear and understandable, although it may need a quick review from a fluent English speaker before publishing.
