Your stomach has millions of radioactive elements!! Read Must

I know its quite odd, but this is what it is. The basic food that we consume today are made of these dreadful elements which suffocated one to death!! But not to be terrified. The amount of radiation evolved doesn't harm your body's metabolism at all. Many food items emit these radiations, primitive being the banana.

Bananas emit radioactive radiations due to the presence of radioactive isotope potassium-40 (⁴⁰K). The amount of radiation evolved in a banana is measured by a separate unit called Banana Equivalent Dose (BED), defined as the additional dose a person will absorb from eating one banana. Whereas the common usual unit used in measuring radioactive decay is Becquerel (Bq) . The radioactivity range of banana as you bite it with your teeth or slice it into pieces with a knife is around 30-31 Bq/g; meaning that in one gram of banana, only 30-31 atoms will decay every second. That's too low for any human being to get blasted like Hiroshima and Nagasaki lands.

Other vegetables/fruits that emit radioactive radiations are potatoes, kidney beans, sunflower seeds, and nut. All these have potassium-40 (⁴⁰K) in common as radioactive element. But a small amount of radium in some cases.
