Fairly, there's probably something intermediate going on. The idea that drinking oil makes that very oil get into your blood in a form that preferentially sticks to cells is whacky. They could be bumping around TGs or big lipoproteins, or those lipoproteins and other TGs could be recruiting monocytic intercellular adhesion molecules. But to simply that the fat it coating the cells themselves and making them sticky is like saying when you eat meat the meat protein goes into your blood and adds to your muscle cells.
Well in a Peatish sense, it's a good metaphor... the issue is when you start looking at single steps too much, and start thinking that the physical properties of that substance don't matter anymore. Whether the fat is overloading the albumin, or overloading the red blood cells, is not really relevant to us in this situation.
