Reviewer 2 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

Dear authors, thank you for the submitted article.  The article is interesting but I don't know how practical it is. Despite the title, it concerns the frequency of taste disorders. According to the authors, it is mainly caused by somatic disorders, and zinc deficiency. It was pointed out that zinc supplementation is a common practice, including the use of Polaprezinc preparations, which are not approved in Europe. It is a pity that the authors did not focus more on oral diseases, because it would be more useful for practicing physicians.

 

As representatives of dental medicine, you have paid relatively marginal attention to oral diseases. You have classified diseases such as Candidosis, xerostomia, and glossitis into one group. Why? In the conclusion (which sounds different in the text and in the abstract) you wrote that 20% of cases are related to oral diseases. It is very interesting how taste disorders depend on the stage of mycosis (according to Newton). Also noteworthy is the fact that the article's title does not fully reflect its content - which is also reflected in the conclusion.
