1) Soylent doesn't include the vast library of known life extending phytonutrients. 2) we haven't discovered most of these compounds, we just know plants have them

Yeah, that's what I meant, your Kale-sporge doesn't mention those, it mentions things that are very well characterized.

I always wonder how many of those phytonutrients can stand up to hydrochloric acid and also get absorbed into the bloodstream.

I think most things stand up pretty well to the stomach. Often though, it is the metabolites of any given substance which do the good, so its after they're processed somewhat.
