Does Bananas Really Cause Radiation Poisoning?


In one of my previous post, I told you a fact that bananas are radioactive and they can cause radiation poisoning. But have you ever wondered does bananas really cause radiation poisoning? 


Let's know, 


Bananas contain a radioactive isotope of potassium called K-40, but it doesn't prompt radiation harming. Unit to gauge radiation exposure is sievert. 


As per research, radiation exposure should not surpass 50,000 millisieverts yearly. Eating a banana opens us to just 0.1 microsieverts. Thus, bananas won't cause radiation harming unless you eat millions of them at the same time.


Comment your questions which you want to be answered.
