Bananas are radioactive.
Discussion
So is water ...and everything around you 🫠
Bananas are slightly radioactive because they contain potassium-40 (⁴⁰K), a naturally occurring isotope. One banana emits about 0.1 microsieverts of radiation — extremely low and harmless.
The human body, including your testicles, also contains potassium and carbon-14, so you’re mildly radioactive too. But your testicles don’t give off more radiation than other body parts — and they give off less than a banana overall, because you’re not concentrating radioactive isotopes like bananas do with potassium.
If you’re just sitting there with your junk in normal conditions — not soaking in uranium or working in a nuclear plant naked — you’re all good.

Everything is radioactive.

In fact, they're an informal unit of radioactivity...
Yes, pretty much everything is.
Organic food is full of chemicals

Yup
They even emit higher levels of radiation than potassium feldspar.
So are you
I remember my HS Physics teacher showing us this. Very cool at the time.
