Yes, bananas are radioactive, but so are you.Yes, you will certainly die from radiation poisoning if you are able to eat 10,000,000 bananas at once. You may also witness chronic symptoms if you eat 274 bananas a day for seven years.Here's how I calculated these numbers.First, some definitions: to keep it simple, I'm going to use the banana equivalent dose (or BED), a rather large estimate of radiation from eating a single banana.In addition, roughly the two scenarios in terms of death through radiation: chronic and acute exposure, with the chronic form estimates based on data from the Kyshtym disaster:BED of one banana, at most, one microsievert or 1 μSv (1)To die from a single exposure (within days): 10 Gy= 10Sv (2)To start having symptoms from chronic exposure: 0.1 Gy/yr for at least 7 yearsHow many bananas do you have to eat at once to die?10Sv/1μSv= 10,000,000: Ten million bananasHow many bananas do you have to eat to start having symptoms?274 bananas a day for 7 years.“Alle Dinge sind Gift und nichts ist ohne Gift, allein die Dosis macht es, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist.” [Everything is poison and nothing is without poison, it is only the dose that makes some things not a poison]— ParacelsusSources:1- Original calculation here: Banana Equivalent Dose2- Acute Radiation Syndrome: A Fact Sheet for Physicians3- Gusev, Igor A.; Gusʹkova, Angelina Konstantinovna; Mettler, Fred Albert (2001-03-28).

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.Interestingly, some people are more “foodies” than others. They enjoy food more, and are naturally more appetitive. So for them, dying early might be the option they prefer.On the other hand, drinking and smoking are often forms of self-medicating to reduce stress, fight mental illness, and reduce emotional and physical pain. Stress, anxiety, and other factors are eating them up. Some are very sensitive and feel they need a “break” from the pain. And who can blame them? Elain Aaron, M.D., has discussed the physiological realities of people with highly sensitive systems. There are also differences in the processing of dopamine and serotonin in individuals which influences their ability to live a “normal” life working, caring for family, and caring for self. For them, finding other ways to alleviate stress, working through depression, and medically manage themselves can greatly improve their lives without smoking and drinking.When you are young, you think “I don’t want to live to be old and sick, I want to have fun now.” But the time goes by quickly. One day, you will feel 16 inside and look in the mirror and see an 85 year old person. It is still “you,” just older. And if you have loved ones in your life, friends, and still have a sense of purpose, you don’t want to die.

How can I get rid of transference feelings towards my psychiatrist if I can't talk with him about it?There are a number of unknowns in this question. Why do you want to “get rid of transference feelings” and why “can’t [you] talk with him about it”?Transference is something that everyone experiences, although most people will never recognize it unless they are in therapy. Note the term transference is generally used to describe the transference of an older relationship dynamic onto the relationship with the therapist, but this experience can also happen in various forms with many people in everyone’s life.If you see it in this context, it’s not really something to “get rid of”, but it is something you’d want to understand better, so that you can relate to people more effectively and appropriately in the here and now, as opposed to projecting past experiences onto current relationships.As for not being able to talk to your psychiatrist about it, why not? Did they say you can’t talk to them about that? Do you feel too uncomfortable to speak about it with them?In either case, it’s very important that you be able to talk to your clinician about anything. If you can’t talk to your psychiatrist about it, maybe you have a psychotherapist you can talk about it with. Many people see both a psychotherapist for talk therapy and a psychiatrist for medication management. If you are seeing a psychiatrist for both, you should be able to speak up them about it. If you are seeing them for medication management only, you should address it with your psychotherapist, as they are serving different functions, and your psychiatrist may not be trained in that kind of psychodynamic therapy.In any case, you should have a clinician you can bring it up with. If you are seeing one clinician and they will not allow you to discuss this, I’d recommend you find one that will allow and encourage you to speak about anything and everything, as anything else is counter-therapeutic.
