I strongly disagree that they are wasting resources and time. One of the main missions of such organizations is to protect customers' health. You can look up, for example, the origins of the FDA and why it was introduced.

It's clearly not enough to make customers aware, given how easily TikTok creates trends especially among teenagers. There are no age restrictions, unlike with Red Bull and other high-caffeine drinks, so anyone can buy these products without understanding or caring about the potential consequences, even if they are clearly stated on the packaging (though I am not sure if they are).

It would be interesting to see if there is a body of research on the effects of capsaicin on health.
