Only an application for over-the-counter sales was denied, not Sucanon outright, only because the FDA determined Sucanon to be a drug!. In fact, the FDA encouraged Roth to apply for drug approval. This does not sound like a 'denied' to me.
Everyone knows this and you do too, but posts to the contrary continue to be appear in spite of overwhelming evidence.
I encourage everyone who has not already done so to read the FDA letter.
