Bananas Are Radioactive😱😱#banana #radioactivity

Bananas contain a naturally occurring radioactive isotope, Potassium-40 (40K). This radiation is:

- Equivalent to 0.1 microsieverts per banana
- 1/100th of a chest X-ray
- Found in all living organisms, including humans

Origin:

- Formed in Earth's crust
- Absorbed by plants through potassium cycle

Risk:

- Extremely low: you'd need to eat 100 billion bananas to exceed safe radiation levels

Fun fact:

- Bananas are one of the most radioactive common foods
