radioactivity and coconuts

[Guest guest]

A while ago I heard that cocos have the ability to transmutate

radioactivity as well as petrochemicals, being that they are grown in

the S.Pacific where alot of testing occurred, I was wondering if

anyone knew if this is false or ficition.

Thank You,

I'd love to see a website where someone outlined how he or

she believed this was possible. Seems to me the idea is either a

kook's dream or someone who will eventually win a Noble Prize.

Probably fiction, and besides coconuts grow in areas untouched by a

history of nuclear testing.

A food product called " Nata de Coco " is made from coconut waste products

fermented by special microbes. As the microbes ferment a mixture of coconut

water or coconut milk, they leave behind a carbohydrate called dextran. The

dextran supposedly can help the body combat the effects of radiation. Maybe it

is simply an interesting coincidence that the nata is grown using coconut

wastes.
