Review Reports

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The effects of tomato consumption and its components in human health and disease, is a relevant and interesting topic. Authors performed an extensive review. Unfortunately, the review is not timely. Just about 4% of the references are from the last 3 years, about 19% are from the past century, and around 48% are form more than years ago. Authors should perform a deep actualization of the literature referenced to add some value to the review, which topic has been reviewed several times, and discuss the state of the art of this relevant issue. In the limitations section, authors should discuss the need of randomized trials assessing the effects of long term tomato consumption on hard endpoints.
