RE: Radioactive bananas - should we stop eating them?!
How does living in a granite area compare to that? I heard that granite is naturally radioactive too ... and I'm surrounded by it.

It is always nice when someone asks questions! :) Well, as I am no expert in the topic I can not really evaluate whether living near granite could somehow impact health of humans in terms of exposure to radioactivity. As I found out, granite is indeed radioactive (as most of the natural stones), but some granites are reportedly more radioactive. So in a way yes, there might be some health risk. On the other hand x-ray, flight or smoking cigarretes represent much higher doses of radiation.
Thanks for looking into this. Good job I don't fly too often. ;)
