As a type 1 diabetic I think your concerns are overblown. Soylent has a pretty low glycemic index which makes it ideal for a quick breakfast.

My only concern about Soylent is if I should be ingesting this much soy as a male of European descent.

I find I have to combine it with a fat/protein like a serving of peanuts to make it not spike me hard. It may not have a high glycemic index, but it is already in liquid form and is thus available for digestion.
Isn't cereal quick? Just how busy are people?

Afraid it's going to make you impotent?
