摘要：In a recent systematic review and meta-analysis report (Nutrients 2016, 8, 57), we critically
appraised and summarized current evidence to determine the effects of chicken essence in improving
cognitive functions as well as its safety. Our report showed a lack of convincing evidence to support
the cognitive-enhancing effects of chicken essence. A critique of our work appeared in Nutrients
(Stewart C Letter to the Editor 2016, 8, 201). In this Reply, we have endeavored to respond to each
point highlighted by Stewart, commencing with corrections to our original report.
