linoleic acid oxidizes all forms of cholesterol

Quote from BMJ OpenHeart Study on Omega-6 vegetable oils source:

Dietary linoleic acid, especially when consumed from refined omega-6 vegetable oils, gets incorporated into all blood lipoproteins (such as LDL, VLDL and HDL) increasing the susceptibility of all lipoproteins to oxidise and hence increases cardiovascular risk.

Linoleic acid can oxidize all forms of cholesterol and so it poses additional risks.
