“The researchers only counted the number of different bacteria types in their samples, not the total cells. A CBS investigation earlier this year found bacteria including staphylococcus and E. coli on the Keurig machines it swabbed. More than half were harboring millions of bacteria cells.
Bacteria appear to thrive in the high temperatures and chemical makeup of the coffee making process itself. Neither user behavior, the type of coffee brewed, nor frequency of the machine’s use seemed to affect the composition of the bacteria present.”

“In the last 15 years or so, researchers have created a number of tools to probe the geometry of these hidden structures. For example, you might build a model of the surface by first zooming in at many different points. At each point, you would place a drop of virtual ink on the surface and watch how it spread out. Depending on how the surface is curved at each point, the ink would diffuse in some directions but not in others. If you were to connect all the drops of ink, you would get a pretty good picture of what the surface looks like as a whole. And with this information in hand, you would no longer have just a collection of data points. Now you would start to see the connections on the surface, the interesting loops, folds and kinks. This would give you a map for how to explore it.”

“On average, the subjects’ LDL cholesterol, the kind implicated in heart disease, fell by 10 points. Their diastolic blood pressure fell five points. Their triglycerides, a type of fat that travels in the blood and contributes to heart disease, dropped 33 points. And their fasting blood sugar and insulin levels – indicators of their diabetes risk – likewise markedly improved.”
