Sometimes it may feel like you just can't win against science. For diabetics, at least, there's some new information that contradicts twenty years worth of thinking: too much good cholesterol is bad.

A biochemist and his team at the University of Kentucky say that too much HDL in the blood causes the molecules to bind with myrisitc acid. This long-chain fatty acid increases the risk for cardiovascular disease. So instead of helping the heart like in other people, "good" cholesterol actually works against diabetics.

Given the slew of press concerning the healthier variety of cholesterol, this comes as a shocker. We've seen medicines, diets and a dozen tips to raise HDL. Now they're saying stop? Well, actually researchers urge diabetics to not try and lower their levels -- talking with your doctor should probably advised. Hopefully this study will help them understand how to tackle the issue and make good cholesterol good again!
