It was only in the 19th century that the thickening of blood vessels was identified as the cause of the closure of the ducts. In 1910, Adolf Wind proved that the ducts contained 6 times more cholesterol than normal ducts in the process of obesity. In the 1930s, observations were made about heart attacks due to blood excess of cholesterol, and in 1950 it was discovered that high amounts of LDL cholesterol block the arteries of the heart as well as HDL cholesterol reduction began to be realized. From the famous Framingham study, it became Muslim that cholesterol excess is a great risk of blockage of the arteries of the heart. The 1950s and 1960s decades later, more and more evidence of this Muslim reality began to emerge.
