A truckload of BANANAS can trigger radiation alarms! 🍌☢️

[00:00:00]A cargo truck full of bananas just triggered radiation alarms at the border. I've been following weird radiation stories for years, and this one's real. Bananas contain potassium 40, which is actually radioactive. But here's the thing, eating them is completely safe.

[00:00:16]You'd need to eat about 10 million bananas at once to actually get radiation poisoning. Nuclear physicists actually use something called the banana equivalent dose to explain radiation to people. So yeah, your breakfast is technically radioactive.
