I would really like to see a long-term study of heavy Soylent use. It would be awesome if we're getting close to an optimally healthy meal replacement, but I have some serious doubts about the stuff due to the lack of phytochemicals. Vegetables contain thousands of organic compounds that are metabolized by our bodies in poorly understood ways -- my hunch is that Soylent doesn't have enough ingredients to keep human bodies running optimally. I guess it depends on where your baseline is, though; a soylent meal seems better than a fast food meal. I'll be watching the scientific literature with interest!
