There appears to be a likely limit to the good cholesterol, HDL.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to immediately implement for your benefit.

Email me to get on either the “Common/Top Issues” (20 - 25% fewer pings) or “Everything” list.

“....”good cholesterol,” are associated with an increased risk of dementia ....”

Then it’s not “good” cholesterol”.

High levels of HDL may bless you with a life long enough to develop dementia. Low levels may lead to early death and no dementia.

Yeah that’s the first time I’ve seen an upper limit for HDL cholesteral.

I’m still trying to figure out what are the optimal ranges for the LDL considering that now there are two types of LDL. Good LDL lb bad LDL-hd

It is a very good cholesterol, it was turning its fatty acids around and was about to cut an albumin.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they find out statins cause dementia.

The number of people I know suffering from dementia at a young age is unusual.

My good cholesterol is never high, it’s always low.

There appears to be a need to sell more statins.

I just had my highest HDL in years. It was 35. My all time high was 38.
