FALSE

The claim that 100 bananas equals one chest X-ray is factually incorrect. The standard Banana Equivalent Dose (BED) is defined as approximately 0.1 microsieverts (μSv) per banana 3612. Scientific data indicates that a single PA chest X-ray delivers a radiation dose 200 times greater than eating one banana 3. Consequently, it would take 200 bananas to reach the radiation level of one chest X-ray, not 100 3. While dental X-rays are lower in intensity and roughly equivalent to 2 to 10 bananas 45, a chest X-ray represents a higher exposure that 100 bananas cannot satisfy 3.
