The krebiozen story. Is cancer quackery dead?

A retrospective medical review published in JAMA the year after the 1966 acquittal, surveying the full arc of the Krebiozen affair from the 1951 press conference through the verdict. Holland surveys the AMA and NCI investigations, the FDA chemical analysis finding creatine monohydrate in mineral oil, and the social dynamics that sustained patient demand despite consistent negative findings by independent researchers. The article's titular question acknowledges that legal acquittal left the scientific and social questions unresolved.
