I don't think all granite emits Radon...not for one second.

It can easily be tested.
As granite as became so popular, it has been imported from more and more countries, and like everything else, the quality can be questionable. I don't believe this article stated that all granite is emitting radon. I don't believe that this article even stated that most granite is emitting radon. It's just advising you of something to be aware of. And I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Awareness is a good thing.
