It is time to take a closer look at some foods that are often said to be radioactive: bananas and brazil nuts.
How active are they in reality? And why would they even be radioactive in the first place?
Can I find something way more active and still edible in a grocery store?
Let's find out!

Just wanted to say that back in 2001-2002 we did WMD drills at the fire department I was volunteering at with a Geiger counter and as we went through the firehouse we found uranium as well as some other radioactive material samples but when we got to someone's lunch box the Geiger counter was going crazy......as you would assume we were all very reluctant to discover the contents.......it was a banana!!! So I am curious as to why your device did not get the same results.......perhaps the military grade Geiger counter we used as apposed to the civilian grade, is there even a difference? Anyways, great video, love your Chanel, thank you so much and keep it up!

@@dimitar4y Well, more accurately a larger gas chamber. Geiger counters are a bit like a gas discharge light, but slightly lower voltage to keep it from discharging all the time. However, this very high voltage means a single ionization event will light the whole gas chamber up from the ion cascade. In addition, having a larger volume or higher density gas increases sensitivity as both increase the chance of ionization events.

"Though most samples in this video are edible, except the radioactive mushrooms." That's really cool, I never knew some of those things were edible. But I wish you had said something about how spicy and fizzy the potassium is; my esophagus is still burning.

Radiation, fire, and electricity are all in a similar category of danger in my opinion. They are all perfectly safe when the correct precautions are taken. They can be useful tools, but you must respect the danger that they can pose and treat them accordingly.

Thanks for the test. Im having the feeling, that your testing for halogens, ie. fluorine, chlorine, bromine. Also found in most pesticine, fungicide, insecticide and so fouth. Would like to see a test on toothpaste (ofc. with natrium fluoride) and some of the poison-cides. Test anything with some kind of halogen in or on it. Thanks in advance.

So fascinating and enjoyable as usual,I was just wondering how radioactive were beuauty products back in 1900's like Doramad and Tho-radia and others,but unfortunatelly I don't think so that there are samples left to test them,but you are Brainiac75 and you will come up with something.
