6 1. Revise the first sentence to RK, HT, JP and MF designed the study and planned the study protocols and data collection, while RK was responsible for study coordination and preparing the manuscript. 2. Between the second and third sentence, there appears to be one too many spaces Minor Essential Revisions: Figures 1. Missing Figure 1 figure as it actually appears on the last page of the manuscript (please ensure the title and figure are together, before the Tables) 2. Table 3 title has a considerable space between itself and the table, unlike the other tables (ensure consistency) 3. Ensure journal article references follow the following format: Author Last Name, First Initial(s). Title of Article. Journal Name. Year of Publication; Volume: Page #-Page #. If more than 6 authors should follow the following format: Author Last Name, First Initial(s), (+ 5 more listed), et al. Title of Article. Journal Name. Year of Publication; Volume: Page #-Page #. Based on the above formats: - Please remove : after the last author listed in the reference lists and put a. Instead before the title of the article - Please put a. after the Journal name and before the Year of Publication - Please put a ; after the Year of Publication and before the Volume Discretionary Revisions: Abstract Design 1. Clarification regarding whether there are 2 intervention periods, or just 1 and a control period, with regards to in the beginning and end of both intervention periods. 2. Explanation of design is very confusing for reader throughout the study Results 1. Recommend being consistent with either 24h ambulatory or 24 h blood pressure (i.e., choose one term for entire publication) 2. Recommend also being consistent with either reduced snack or reduced-snack 3. Recommend also being consistent with either risk factors or risk-factors Conclusion 1. With regards to the study population/purpose of the study, it might be beneficial to the reader if effects (or lack of) on blood pressure are mentioned in
7 the conclusionary sentence in the abstract Keywords 1. Suggestion to put CVD and possibily flavonoids (or a specific one) in the keywords listing Background 1. Fifth paragraph, second sentence, recommend being more specific (i.e. include dose, what the dose is of, etc.) Methods Participants 1. Consider including a reference as to where the parameters for mild hypertension were found (i.e mmhg systolic blood pressure, etc.) Blood samples and OGTT 1. Second paragraph of this section, recommend including references for the methods used Dietary analyses and other confounders 1. Main paragraph, first sentence, consider revising control the success of the snack restriction to ensure the success of the snack restriction Results 1. Second paragraph, first sentence, recommendation is to be more specific to the variables measured that did not have any difference between the two arms at baseline. 2. Third paragraph, last sentence, be specific about the non-specific changes and where they occurred (i.e. between arms, within arms but compared to baseline, at the end of both arms, etc.) to ensure reader knows what the finding refers to 3. In general, could report on the improvement from hypertensive to normotensive status of the 12/22 participants, regardless of reaching significance, as this was only mentioned in the fifth paragraph of the discussion Discussion 1. Fourth paragraph, last sentence, consider explaining what the something is that you are referring to (for the reader) 2. Fifth paragraph, first sentence, perhaps you are referring to the AHA diet (American Heart Association s diet)? 3. Sixth paragraph, first sentence, suggest inserting reference 4. Sixth paragraph, last sentence, recommend provided more context around this sentence 5. Tenth paragraph, first sentence, consider revising this sentence, as it is not just theory that saturated fatty acids are atherogenic
8 6. Tenth paragraph, third sentence, recommend provided a reference here 7. Thirteenth paragraph (last paragraph in discussion), consider revising the second sentence to be more discriptive in terms of nutrients and health effects (with references) 8. Thirteenth paragraph, last sentence, please consider revising as it is somewhat confusing what you are trying to say with regards to the calcium intake in your study 9. Consider adding more discussion after referencing other studies on how they relate to the current study/the current study s findings Conclusions N/A Major Compulsory Revisions: 1. Page numbers for manuscript missing (unless these are not currently required at this time) 2. Figure 1 title/description needs to be combined with the actual figure (which appears on a separate/the last page vs. the second last page) Quality of written English:Not suitable for publication unless extensively edited Statistical review:yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the statistics. Declaration of competing interests: I declare that I have no competing interests.
