 |                     | Fact or         Fiction |           |          Bananas are not         radioactive.
 FICTION!
 
 Bananas are in fact         radioactive. Explains one reference: "The fruit         contains high levels of potassium. Radioactive K-40 has an isotopic         abundance of 0.01% and a half-life of 1.25 billion years. The average         banana contains around 450 mg of potassium and will experience about 14         decays each second."
 
 Perhaps this explains why bananas mysteriously ripen so quickly         sometimes!
 
 Fruits and vegetables are an integral part of a healthy         lifestyle.  What are some of your favorite fruits and vegetables         and why?  Please share your         experiences with us, and we'll feature them in the next         issue of Astronology!
