>I don't think Rob and is collaborators are making that claim at all.

Perhaps they have stopped, but they certainly were making that claim when they were asking for money. This is what they once said on the crowdfunding site (emphasis mine):

>Soylent is perfectly balanced and optimized for your body and lifestyle, meaning it automatically puts you at an optimal weight, makes you feel full, and improves your focus and cognition.

I was pretty upset at that claim. I think some of Tim Ferriss's statements are directed at those kinds of marketing claims specifically. Maybe they have backed off on that?
