> A large cheese pizza might be three times more radioactive than a banana So thats why the food industry stopped using potassium chloride (known as the good salt) and continued using even more sodium chloride in their food. We have the Sodium Potassium pump in virtually every cell of the body and Sodium keeps the Potassium out of the body so you dont have to wait for nuclear decay! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93potassium_pump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium%E2%80%93potassium_pump Cool, high salt food stops you becoming even more radioactive. Seriously though, I do like the way the message has been got across, things like "every second you roll 21 dice. If they all come up 6s, you decay.", I think more people can relate to the timescales so they know just how radioactive they become. Personally I dont know why we arent all sucking Potassium Iodide lozenges considering the amount of Potassium-40 there is in the environment. Maybe thats why Whales are the longest living mammals on the planet, the sodium chloride keeps potassium out of their bodies?
