Mic the Vegan YouTube video

He’s incorrect on so many points:

  • MCTs - Huel is low lauric and high capric and caprylic acid
  • Huel has a GI of 27 - so his oats being digested quickly comment is moot
  • Defending Soylent here: he’s incorrect on isomaltulose which is not a sugar; it’s a low GI polysaccharide
  • Leucine - I couldn’t disagree with him more. You need a reasonable amount of leucine per meal to activate the mTor enzyme to kick start protein synthesis. Inadequate leucine relative to carb intake, is one of the reasons contributing to obesity
  • If he thinks we’re trying to appeat to keto diet, he doesn’t know what a keto diet is!
  • Not sure of the relevance to slating added vitamin A to either Huel or Soylent

It’s a shame he didn’t spend an hour or so more checking out some facts before making the video.
