Is there a demonstrable biological effect at 0.002 microGrays in one day? If not, why use the Sievert?
We have shown that a dose of 2 mGy administered in one second to the breast causes 4 cancers in 1,000 women. This is how the Sievert should be defined.
It is calculated from Corcos D, bioRxiv, 2017 and Corcos D & Bleyer A, NEJM, 2020. These studies demonstrated that the excess of breast cancers after mammography screening was not overdiagnosis, but rather delayed cancers. It is then easy to divide the annual excess of cancers by the annual number of mammograms performed. These studies led to me being fired from INSERM by Yves Lévy, a friend of Fauci, the head of US Biodefense. The entire field is censored and controlled.
A complicating factor is the body is very efficient at regulation potassium levels. Eating more bananas will increase the potassium loss from the body. So the banana dose isn't linear with bananas, making it a rather useless metric quantitatively. A potassium deficient body will incur a larger dose from one banana than a serial banana eater.
I drink about 4 cups of coffee a day. This is probably in the ballpark of a banana a day.
The most radioactive foodstuff is potassium salt, a sodium replacement. Mine has about 66% KCl, so that's over 10000 Bq/kg. At 1 gram a day this adds 10 Bq/day. Another banana a day. But my body has over 4000 Bq of K40 inventory stored. Anything much above that will be quickly excreted.
The sugar in the banana is the real problem. Even a low sugar lifestyle is still over 10e25 molecules of sugar a year. A sweet tooth can get you to 10e26 molecules a year. Sugary beverages alone are estimated to kill 180,000 to 350,000 a year globally. Poor diets in general are estimated to lead to over 10 million premature deaths a year and it could well be over 20 million.
Forget zoomies, they ain't got nothing on sweeties.
What does a Sievert mean here? Has there been a single cancer caused by a banana?
Corcos,
K-40 is a gamma and beta emitter. Replace Sievert with Gray if it makes you happy.

A reference please.

Thanks for that. Would you have the DOI for Corcos & Bleyer, NEJM, 2020?

I will count you among the killjoys mentioned in paragraph 3. But must you go after candy?
I deserved that!
