Fat does not "clog your arteries". The buildup of plaque in arteries is a complex process. But it has much more to do with chronic inflammation and the immune system's response to it than dietary fat or cholesterol. In fact there is ZERO causative relationship between increased intake of dietary-cholesterol (e.g. lots of egg yolks) and increased blood serum cholesterol. However there is a significant causative relationship between becoming overweight and increased blood-serum cholesterol. It's more that being fat "clogs your arteries" than eating fat.
