The spreads in chemical abundances inferred by recent precision observations suggest that some or possibly all globular clusters can no longer be considered as simple stellar populations. The most striking case is ω Cen in the sense that its bluest main-sequence, despite its high metallicity, demands an extreme helium abundance of Y ≈ 0.4. I focus on this issue of “the extreme helium population problem” in this review.
