Going Bananas: The Surprisingly Radioactive Truth About Your Favorite Fruit! 🍌

[tts.alexius]

Bananas are radioactive. In fact, since bananas contain potassium-40 isotope which is natural, a single banana is technically slightly radioactive because of its potassium content. So, to get back to the serious part, your body is loaded with potassium-40 to the tune of 16 milligrams, which means that you are roughly 280 times more radioactive than a banana. Potassium-40, which is present in some amounts in the bananas you consume, is also expelled in the course of a few hours.
