Another myth claims bananas are the absolute best source of potassium. While theyre good avocados spinach and sweet potatoes actually have more. What makes bananas stand out is how easy and accessible they are.
Then theres the fun one about bananas being radioactive. Its true they contain a small amount of Potassium40 but the levels are tiny. You would need to eat something like ten million bananas at once to reach dangerous radiation levels. No need to worry.
Finally some people say blending bananas in smoothies destroys nutrients especially when mixed with berries. There might be some lab reaction with an enzyme in bananas but in real life smoothies still deliver plenty of fiber and beneficial compounds. Your body is pretty good at getting what it needs so mixing bananas and berries is usually just fine.
