I wonder how this compares to the several grams of plastic per week consumed from drinking water.

That's disturbing. Can any consumer grade filters remove plastics that small?

Just stop drinking bottled water.

That article also suggests tap water contains plastics, so "stop drinking bottled water" will help, but doesn't remove it all from the equation.

Consumed... and then excreted. Honestly, I mostly agree with the statement "Some experts remain sceptical about longterm impacts" since plastics are famously inert.
