"I mean, so what if there's some caffeine in a product"
Well,because that means the identity of a substance is BEING MISREPRESENTED.
This is completely unethical, prevent genuine research, and is actually very dangerous - if you establish what you think is a dose-effect profile for a substance, only to later find out it was only 25% pure with the other 75% (to take some arbitrary figures) when someone takes some of 100% pure (and consequently doses 3 times higher than intended), this is clearly not very good, yeah?
Misrepresenting one substance for another(s) entirely is a far larger problem,and today is quite widespread, especially so in the UK RC scene (which is a real travesty - people will seemingly eat or even shoot up almost any unsavoury-looking substances).
