Well, my estimates for long-term consequences would probably be:
Soylent is fine to consume occasionally -- 98%
Soylent is fine to be a major (but not sole) part of your diet -- 90%
Soylent is fine to be the sole food you consume -- 10%
What exactly do you mean with fine?
Um. Probably lack of noticeable health/fitness problems. But yes, it's a vague word. On the other hand, the general level of uncertainty here is high enough to make a precise definition not worthwhile. We are not running clinical trials here.
By the way, the vagueness of "major ... part of ... diet" is a bigger handwave here :-/
The more I read about nutrition the more I come to the conclusion that most diets do have effects. Some advantages and some disadvantages.
I thing there a good chance that A diet without any cholesterol might reduce some hormone levels and some people who look hard enough might see that as an issue.
