   Microplastics—tiny particles now found in food, water, air, and even human   
   tissues—may directly accelerate artery-clogging disease, and new research   
   shows   
   the danger may be far greater for males. In mice, environmentally realistic   
   doses of microplastics dramatically worsened plaque buildup, altered key   
   vascular cells, and activated harmful genes linked to inflammation and   
   atherosclerosis, all without changes to weight or cholesterol.
