Ironically though, your body doesn't really store excess potassium. When you eat a banana, you're only replacing a banana's worth of potassium within your body, so it ends up being largely net 0 in terms of a radiation dose, even though it's radioactive.
But you could exchange non-radioactive isotopes for the radioactive ones bananas are rich in, right?
If you can find a source of non-radioactive potassium.
