YouTube sensation VSauce (Michael Stevens) has several videos warning us that bananas are one of the most radioactive foods around. Who would ever want to eat a banana again after learning that eating 200 bananas exposes a person to same amount of radiation as getting a chest x-ray? Sounds scary, especially for those of us who don’t bat an eye at eating 30 bananas a day!
This radiation scare is based on the fact that bananas, like most organic materials, naturally contain a certain percentage of radioactive isotopes; Potassium-40 in the case of bananas. Ryan investigates this issue, with his trademark critical thinking, to examine whether bananas are too radioactive for us to safely eat. Or do us banana eaters just need to get comfortable living with a radioactive yellow glow around us?
