It is saturated fats and trans fats that slam your arteries. The Omega 6 is Linoleic acid a polyunsaturated fat. Omega 6 means the last double bond is 6 carbons from the methyl end of the fatty acid and Linoleic contains 2 double bonds thus a polyunsaturated fat. Linoleic is an essential fatty acid that needs to come from your diet since it can not make it.
I have never seen any research that says polyunsaturated fat will clog your arteries.
