Researchers link high levels of 'good' cholesterol with excessive mortality

(University of Copenhagen The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences) In striking contrast to the general perception, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have shown in a new study that people with extremely high levels of HDL -- the 'good' cholesterol -- in their blood have a more than 65 percent higher mortality rate than people with normal HDL levels. The researchers say the results should lead to a change in the way 'good' cholesterol is perceived.
