People ate radiation at one point. Doctors recommended it. Radium in water… …radium in toothpaste… …even radium in candy. They believed it energized the body. Magazines and advertisements promised vitality. People drank it. Applied it on skin. They sat in glowing lamps. Some even slept with radioactive products nearby. But soon, the truth appeared. It wasn’t healthy at all. People became sick. And radium products were banned. What was once thought miraculous… …was actually dangerous.
