@desiros Bananas are naturally radioactive, since they contain large amounts of potassium, and roughly one in every 100 potassium atoms is an isotope known as potassium 40.

@northernnarwhal Potassium is good.

@techdisk I'm not saying it isn't. Cellular enzymes depend on potassium to function properly. I'm just mentioning one of my favourite banana facts since you brought them up. On that note, the radiation from bananas is insignificant and won't affect your health. Our bodies are also already very slightly radioactive due to being exposed to gamma rays.

I just made myself a banana smoothie. Why has been so long since the last time I've had one of these, this is amazing...
