Many foods are naturally radioactive, and bananas are particularly so, due to the radioactive potassium-40 they contain. The banana equivalent dose is the radiation exposure received by eating a single banana. Radiation leaks from nuclear plants are often measured in extraordinarily small units (the picocurie, a millionth of a millionth of a curie, is typical). By comparing the exposure from these events to a banana equivalent dose, a more intuitive assessment of the actual risk can sometimes be obtained.
I urgently appeal to you to read about the Banana equivalent dose

    Apparently, Brazil nuts are some of the most naturally radioactive foods,according to the article. And now you know.

    YOU’RE TOO LATE YOU SMALL-MINDED MERE MORTAL I HAVE CONSUMED ENOUGH BANANAS TO DECIPHER THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME ITSELF...
