"There is no safe level of radiation"
This is the problem. That statement is absolutely not true. If it was, then bananas would be illegal.
Every risk has a number. You don't worry about getting cancer from bananas if the chance is less than being hit by an asteroid.
Too many people don't have enough of a scientific education.
ETA - the statement that the body has adapted to radiation from bananas but not caesium displays a breathtaking lack of knowledge of nuclear physics. Please read up on the basics before posting about it.
You really should try reading reputable websites. That crock website you quoted from can't even spell common words correctly and you trust it to inform you about radiation?
