"One chip challenge" gone wrong?

I suspect there are so many more abnormalities than are ever discovered
No kidding. When you start looking for stuff, you invariably find other stuff. There's always another worm to be found when you pick up the rock.

With that in mind, should this chip even be manufactured? There is no redeeming factor in that capsaicin level, so why is it being approved by the FDA?

I will defer to the medical people here, but my layman opinion is that the chip did not kill him.
(However, I also predict that the family lawyers will walk away with a lot of money, either by winning the lawsuit, or negotiating something with the company)

It is wholly possible that it did.
See my comment above:
In the context of some abnormal cardiac vasculature (the "bridge") I can see how an ingestion of this chip could have raised his blood pressure, causing the heart to work harder. Increased "squeezing" of the heart narrows the left anterior descending artery (AKA "The widow maker artery") causing an MI.
Think about it.
Your blood pressure shoots up because of the chip. Heart has to pump harder, muscle contracts harder, to maintain blood flow to the body.
One of the arteries that supplies blood and oxygen to the cardiac muscle is "buried" within the muscle, rather than lying on the surface as is normally the case.
Muscle squeezes, in squeezing it compresses the left anterior descending artery, basically obstructing it. Boom, heart attack.

By the way, I've seen "intramuscular" coronary arteries. Surgeons hate them because they can be difficult to find, and are buried within the muscle. Need to be dug out. Generally a PITA.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@George-K Good analysis George. But eventually, the only food available to people will be a high protein smoothie. LOL

Not at all. What’s the point of even having an FDA to provide approvals?
Small bits of arsenic won’t kill most people, so let’s have a 1 chip challenge…

That would be wicked.
