Soylent and Ambronite are two of several liquid meal replacements available around the world. Jennifer Sygo, RD reviewed the product in the summer of 2014 in a National Post article, noting that while replacing the odd fast food meal with a liquid meal replacement likely isn’t cause for concern, we don't know enough about long-term impacts (nutritionally, socially, psychologically, metabolically) to recommend its adoption as the normal way of eating. Dr. David Jenkins, Canada Research Chair in the Department of Medicine and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Toronto and St. Michael’s Hospital, wrote an article in the Toronto Star and made similar comments, and in addition pointed out the low fibre content as a downside of the meal replacement.
