Brazil Nuts shown to be the most radioactive food in the world

Hmm, so as long as no-one does any studies on cumulative effects to multiple exposure sources we are all safe and warm ... very warm.

Despite the prestige of occupying the top radioactive spot, the amount stored and radiated is nevertheless miniscule and simply does not compare to the level of radiation found elsewhere in our daily lives.

Eh, I'm eating them anyway. I like brazil nuts.

[Rod Sprague]

I would have guessed bananas, myself.

[Cynth]

The opportunity to eat a Brazil nut seems, unfortunately, to come up very seldom in my life so I guess I won't worry too much. But the

certain 3M tape dispensers, cat litter

containing radiation? Geez! I have much higher exposure to cat litter and even to tape dispensers than to Brazil nuts. I don't eat them of course, but still....

I grew up in the 60s eating Columbia River Salmon, caught downstream from the Hanford Nuclear Reservation.

I heard once that they took a salmon caught at the mouth in Astoria down to Livermore to test it's "trace" radioactivity. The thing was so hot that it broke the machine and the salmon was disposed as low level radioactive waste.

Of course they couldn't tell this to anybody. National Security and all.

Still, it tastes better to me than ocean caught, and especially Atlantic salmon. A good nonradioactive alternative, especially now that most of the Columbia runs are extinct or endangered due to the dams, is the Copper River Salmon from Alaska.

Brazil Nuts shown to be the most radioactive food in the world

I like it when my nuts glow in the dark.

On a side note, back in the 50s and early 60s, when strontium 90 fallout was a real concern due to above-ground atomic testing, my mother told us that we could not make snow ice cream from the first snowfall of the year, because that was the one that scrubbed all the strontium 90 out of the air. The second snowfall, however, was safe to eat.

I think she just didn't feel like farting around with snow ice cream that day.

I never really liked those. Now I know why.

I remember the same thing, except we never got to have it ever again---I guess my mom didn't hear about the first snowfall cleaning up the air. That snow ice cream was good.

Man, we never got enough snow to do anything with. No snowmen, no snow angels, and definitely no snow ice cream. It'd end up with grass and dirt all in it, anyway, because you'd have to scrape it off of the ground.

So what do you do for fun?
Go sandboarding?
