Your argument seems to be "vegetables have things your body needs. Soylent is not vegetables, therefore Soylent doesn't have these things". I am far from a nutrition expert, but from some googling it sounds like a lot of what you bring up, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc. are converted by the body to vitamin A, which Soylent includes. It also includes magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, and so on.

Are you willing to bet your life that those general hypotheses are the only reasons why fruits and vegetables make nearly everyone live longer? Do you think these engineers truly understand food, or is it possible that there are things we don't know, just like we didn't understand omegas decades ago? I don't claim to fully know what's going on when I eat berries. Nobody does. But I see extremely strong statistics showing one thing, and Soylent has been marketed in the complete opposite direction, and that is dangerous. Honestly I don't care what people do. But I care what is marketed to inexperienced consumers.
