So, bananas emit measurable levels of cesium 137? How about other long-lived radionuclides? Is the "natural" radioactivity in bananas lethal at the atomic or molecular levels?

You don't mention becquerels, curies, sieverts or millisieverts. You don't mention that cesium 137 is lethal at the atomic or molecular level. You don't mention that less than a dime-sized piece of cesium 137 can contaminate many kilometers of land.

I find it difficult to take you seriously.
