Well Then It's Radioactive Potassium For Me

Bananas are Radioactive 

Bananas are rich in potassium, a mineral that balances water levels in the body as well as keeping blood pressure healthy. But a small proportion of that potassium is the unstable radioactive form, which you are swallowing alongside the regular potassium every time you eat the fruit. Other fruit and vegetables rich in potassium will also be a teeny bit radioactive in the same way. Thankfully it's next to impossible to get a significant dose of radiation from eating fruits and veggies.
