Unfortunately, I don't think such a study is runnable. How do you blind 'oil-sludge' against 'real food'?

That said, randomizable is perfectly doable: Rhinehart could flip a coin each week to decide whether to eat real food or Soylent. I suggested as much on his blog a while ago, but he never responded.

If nothing else, it could be compared to something like formula that's used to keep folks on feeding tubes alive.
