If someone only wants to eat Soylent they should. They should also be documenting as many health data points as possible, how much they are eating, and when they deviate from the diet. Twenty five to thirty years out we should have a good idea what the side effects are.

Negative side effects showing up within the next couple of years will kill Soylent. Why? Because their marketing says you don't need to eat anything else. That is a very steep claim, not much different than claiming your magical sugar pill prevents cancer.

If they made diminished claims I would speak less negatively. Certainly, as a nutritional supplement it would have strong and immediately measurable benefits in poor areas such as sub-Saharan Africa. Put a healthy 21 year old exclusively on it until they are 35? Ouch.
