Research of the Day: Bananas!

Are you nuts for bananas?  Then you better read this interesting post, because the Research of the Day is bananas!

Bananas come in a variety of sizes and colors when ripe, including red, yellow, and purple.

Bananas are a great source of potassium!!!  One large banana, about 9 inches in length, has 602 mg of potassium!

Bananas are EXTREMELY healthy and is popular with athletes.

Bananas are the fourth largest fruit crop in the WORLD!

In Uganda, bananas are eaten so much that the word they use for food, matooke, means bananas, too.

In 2001, Britain recorded 300 incidents of injuries related to bananas.  Most of these involved people slipping on banana peels.

BANANAS ARE RADIOACTIVE!  It’s okay, though.  Your body can handle that small radioactivity inside the banana.

Alright, that’s it.  That is the research of the day.

GO BANANAS FOR BANANAS!

    Hmm, Banana’s! Very interesting! This is a very unique post! I do play a lot of sports and I noticed that you mentioned that bananas are very good for athletes. I play summer softball, more like yearly. You get the point, but anyways when we have softball tournaments on the weekends I will always be eating fruit, fruit, and a little more fruit. I mostly eat bananas and watermelon. Some strawberries, apples, and oranges too! I think that eating the banana helps me the most! I really like your unique idea of a post! :D
