As someone that has been cleaning their range hood recently, I'm convinced there are more particulates from the food you cook than from just the range. So much grease in my range hood that it is kind of impressive/scary.

The crazy thing to me, is this is our first house that vents out of the house. Most just recirculated and our last was not good at that. I never realized that the grime we were cleaning out of our bathroom was mostly from the kitchen. Mind blowing to realize how much grease gets throughout the house if you are cooking with frying pans a lot. And really drives home why that used to be so heavily reserved for outdoor grilling.

Another thing we noticed going low-oil in our diet is how easy cleanup is. Imagine what that grease buildup looks like inside your arteries!
I'm hesitant to think too much in that direction, honestly. This implies that grease is somehow a fixed point for your digestive system, but I suspect that grease in is turned to other things inside your system. If that makes sense.

Now, I have no idea how that pans out, as it were. So, happy to hear of any studies that go into that.
