It’s very surprising, and alarming too. Studies have proved that Bananas contain a lot of potassium making them more radioactive than other fruits. However, till date no case has been detected where a person has developed radiation sickness by eating Bananas.

While Potassium is necessary for the healthy operation of the body, the radiation from Bananas measures out to be 3,520 picocuries per kilo. Well, that’s high enough to set off the more sensitive type of radiation alarms. Other radioactive Potassium rich foods and fruits include spinach, white beans, apricots, salmon, avocados, potatoes, mushrooms, yoghurt.
