My AmWellness: 5 Things You Never Knew About Radiation

We all know Radiation is bad for us, right?

But what most people do not know is that other than eSmog (electromagnetic radiation) emitted from your electronic devices, it can actually be found quite easily in our daily life. Especially so if you are living in a concrete jungle.

Here are some interesting facts that you might not have known about Radiation..

Radiation can be found in foods

Yes, even those that may not have been grown near the scary Fukushima Nuclear Plant in Japan.

For example, the Brazil nut is one of the most radioactive foods in the world! The reason for this radioactivity is because the roots of the tree that produce the Brazil nut grow so deep into the ground that they absorb massive levels of radium, a naturally-occurring source of radiation.

In addition, banana lovers might want to take note that bananas are actually genetically created to emit radiation. But don't worry, you need to eat 5,000,000 bananas before you will actually feel SICK from all the radiation. Carrying a bunch of bananas through the airports with a radiation sensor might set it off though. Other foods that are slightly "radioactive" are potatoes, carrots, lima beans, red meat, low sodium salt and (tragically for some), even beer. (Nope, you won't gain super powers even if you ate them all;))
Radiation can be found in concrete

If you live in a concrete jungle, take note that there is background radiation hidden in all the concrete since it is made from granite. Research by the Observatory and Polytechnic University in the late 1990s found concrete used in the city contains radioactive elements - probably from the granite used as aggregate.Granite contains minerals with traces of uranium, thorium and radium, which give off gamma radiation. According to the non-profit group, Safecast, which has volunteers driving around cities with Geiger counters to measure radiation levels in heavily populated areas, the amount of background radiation in Hong Kong is of higher level than that in Tokyo

PS: This also means that if you love the industrial look and have a granite table top in your kitchen, all the food you prepared there will likely be exposed to radiation as well.
Radiation can be found in old clay and pottery

Much as we love beautiful teapots and teacups that grandma left behind, these items might actually contain high levels of radiation given that many items of pottery produced before 1960 (especially those with an orange or red colour) contain high levels of uranium since it is added into the glaze to create this distinctive colors. Likewise, if you have any items of antique glass with a greenish-color, they also contain uranium. We don’t recommend drinking from those items anymore especially given that much old porcelain also leaks lead. So perhaps they are best left in display cases.
Even Magazines TOO!

Yes, that's right! The next time you pick up a glossy magazine, you might want to remember that sleek and glossy look that magazines have requires it to be covered in kaolin, a type of white clay. Clay is also capable of holding radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium and clay is used commonly as a food additive and as an ingredient in many over-the-counter drugs.

This also means that you might want to take note if you have cats at home as most kitty litter are made up for clay.
