Precisely! If there was established scientific knowledge of a mTORC1 problem with eating vegan then the leading nutritional science organization's position paper would cover it. It didn't so everyone, including you, have strong reason to doubt your initial claim. If new research of such a problem gets published in top journals in the field the next position paper will reflect that. Until it does laymen like you and me have strong epistemic reason to side with the position paper.
As for possible corporate interests distorting the position paper, do you have any specific evidence about such distortion with regard to mTORC1? Saying that it is merely possible that such a distortion could happen, without any specific evidence about such distortion, is not a useful argument in this discussion because distortions in the opposite direction are equally possible. The meat and dairy industry are among the corporate actors that the AND has received money from.
