Almost certainly. But I’m not going to eat thousands of bananas in a day.
Comment on If eating a banana is ~0.1μSv, then what is holding a banana for an hour?

Surely eating a banana has more exposure than just holding it

Depends on what kind of radiation. Alpha radiation? You can hold the banana forever, but you better not eat it. Gamma radiation? Kinda fucked wither way.

So if I’m ever offered a gamma-radiating banana I might as well eat it? Got it and thx

Beta is an electron, gamma is a photon (and alpha is a helium nucleus)
