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.

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.
