Bananas are radioactive! The fruit contains high levels of potassium. Radioactive K-40 has an isotopic abundance of 0.01% and a half-life of 1.25 billion years. The average banana contains around 450 mg of potassium and will experience about 14 decays each second. It's no big deal for just one banana, but if you are near a thousand of them, you can get a darn good dose of radiation..

I caution everybody to keep their additional radiation exposure to a minimum. There is no safe dose of radiation regardless of the lies of the Nuclear Industry. The rampant increase in radiation exposure in our modern era is largely responsible for the six fold increase in Cancer in the United States in the past 100 years. We can thank nuclear bomb testing world wide, fabrication of radioactive fuel for nuclear power plants, the operation of nuclear power plants (Constantly releasing radioactive particulate to the atmosphere – Tritium, Krypton, Argon…… That is the reasons why all of the German speaking countries have banned nuclear power.), X-rays in medical procedures and the depletion of the Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere.

We need to control and limit those exposures that we have the ability to decrease. Thus, do not stand near the banana bin in the grocery store for very long, unless all of the banana’s are gone.

So all of these radiation bananas are they next to your radiation lemons or were those in different bins?
