Is it fat or cholesterol that clogs your arteries?
I am wondering if fat alone clogs your arteries, not fat that is combined with cholesterol, but fat alone.
Or is it the cholesterol that clogs arteries and causes plaque to build up.

Triglycerides and LDL cholesterol are both horrible, and can clog arteries.

cholesterol is fat. LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides are the stuff that clogs arteries and what you should watch for.

neither. Your arteries build plaque while repairing damage to the arteries. So things that do damage to your arteries such as smoking, drugs, processed foods, trans-fats, excess insulin, etc cause plaque to form. Eating cholesterol actually prevents your body from making more of this vital substance. Eating trans-fats, rancid oils, and oxidized cholesterol does cause damage. Eat real eggs, not Egg-beaters.
