“Going back to the banana problem, the lethal dose for an average human is roughly 5 Sv. This translates into about 50 million bananas. Eating that many is definitely not feasible.”
400 bananas in one sitting is a fatal dose of potassium.

Fortunately, the 40K which is the culprit - is rapidly excreted. Only 200?? A chimpanzee might eat that many. Mike Melich might munch that many. He ate 50 when he turned 50. Maybe not in one day. He is inordinately fond of them. My favorite lunch would be a pound of cherries and champagne.
