Study of the fat in artery clogs states that more than half is polyunsaturated. Only about 26% is saturated. (Felton, C V, et al, Lancet, 1994, 344:1195)

Not only that, but post mortem studies of people from cultures both high and low in saturated fat (the study I'm thinking of compared both Japanese and American soldiers during WW2) have demonstrated roughly equivalent amounts of arterial plaque which strongly suggests that it's not the amount or even the type of fat that a person eats that contributes to arterial plaques. Other studies have confirmed those observations.
