You can all carry on eating your nuts anyway.

I have it on good authority:

"Using a geiger counter on food is poor science as the instrument isn’t suitable for food radioactivity detection unless highly contaminated.

Run the sample in a lead castle with HPGe or sodium iodide detector and you find NORM.

Far better to explain NORM and the fact it is everywhere, than as the video presented makes out no radioactivity-when it should state that any Norm is either at background level or below geiger counter detection."

If you think that salt is not good for your health and you use lo sodium salt, you are doing more harm than good.

 

Low sodium salt has an additives that is radioactive, potassium.

For medical reasons I have to take extra potassium tablets. Three 600mg per day, for the last ten years.

I just wonder how radioactive I am?

Oh well, back to the nuts.

Once again J you have neglected to comprehend my post regarding Brazil nuts. You have just quoted a BBC demo that also neglected to conduct a proper test.

The radiation is concentrated in the shell as I clearly stated

Is that 600mg of potassium or is the pill/capsule 600mg

If it is a total of 1800mg of potassium per day then you have consumed 65.7 kilograms of potassium over the last 10 years.

Take a sample of your urine to the uni and get it checked for radiation level. If it glows in the dark then you can skip the trip to the uni 🙂
