This isn't like smoking or drinking. There isn't any control group. We have no population to compare a lifetime of microplastic exposure against. It isn't like lead, either. Plastics pollution to date guarantees a continuous supply of microplastics for decades/centuries.

You're right, I assume that even at the very best, an uncontacted tribe would still be contaminated to some extent
