The argument of "same product type" falls short of applicability to Sucanon.
1. Sucanon is not mentioned in the article, which was about improperly marketed supplements sold in the US
2. Sucanon is not sold in the US
3. A request was submitted to the FDA to consider Sucanon as a natural product and FDA said it could not be sold as a supplement because it is a drug per the food and drug act, a drug that underwent "substantial clinical investigations" and specifically referenced the Sucanon study in 97 Latino prediabetics presented at the 2013 EASD annual meeting and published in their peer reviewed journal.
4. As you point out, specific products in the Consumer Reports article are allowed interstate commerce. That was true as supplements do not need FDA approval, but is likely in doubt now due to the warnings on improper marketing.
5. The reason Sucanon is not allowed sale as a supplement is that FDA says it is a drug per the food and drug act and it needs a new drug application.
6. Sucanon, as shown in preclinical and clinical testing, actually works in treatment of type 2 diabetes, and better than many prescription oral diabetes medications.
7. If the "same product type" argument really applied, it would have been unnecessary to modify the Consumer Reports article to falsely make it appear applicable to Sucanon in post #4477 for the stated purpose of "scaring people away" (post 4550). Here are the details including a link to the entire article.

In post 4477 you conveniently left out a sentence following ".....want you to beware" and just before "What can you do?".

The sentence omitted is as follows:

"it warned 15 companies last week about the illegal marketing of certain diabetes products, including Glucocil, Glytain, ProBeta’s Gynmena Sylvestre, and Zostrix Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief Cream."

Post #4477 conveniently changed the colon (:) to a period (.).
The colon lets the reader know that there is more. The period means an end. This is clearly a misrepresentation of the article. Sucanon is not listed and Jayyy intended for everyone to think that Sucanon is included.

Now the repetitive misleading information continues to be posted despite its proven inaccuracy as Sucanon is not in the list or at all related to the article.
