Original Note:
Misleading. The article itself states "an observational study like this can't definitively conclude that microplastics are causing the downstream heart effects" The researchers also didn't control for other major risk factors (smoking, physical activity, etc) https://www.sciencealert.com/plastic-found-inside-more-than-50-of-plaques-from-clogged-arteries
