Sarcasm aside, I agree testing on populations raises a whole bunch of ethical and morality concerns.

Also how would we control for environmental health effects, or even interactions between multiple product variances. This kind of testing would be wildly expensive, pose potential public health risks, and the data collected would be coarse and noisy at best

This would only be of substances already approved for general use, and wouldn't expose anyone to any substance they wouldn't otherwise be buying/using.

The only difference is it very slightly adjusts the quantity - and does so in a way that is within existing allowed tolerances, so effectively this might already be happening, just we aren't collecting the results.
