Nearly half of soda machines nationwide are contaminated with dangerous levels of bacteria, a first-of-its-kind study suggests. Researchers in California say the problem is being 'overlooked' after finding E. coli, salmonella, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which have been linked to serious health consequences like pneumonia, meningitis, and other infections on the machines. The team tested samples from self-serve soda machines, water vending machines, and outdoor tap water sources in the rural eastern Coachella Valley area. About three-quarters of the samples exceeded limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This isn't the first indication of dangerous bacteria lurking in fast food machines. A grandfather in Washington, for example, died in June after drinking a milkshake from a local burger joint that was contaminated with listeria. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12610749/40-percent-soda-machines-dangerous-bacteria.html

Are we talking about carbonated soda from a machine? If so i dont like them. I probably dont drink more than one 12 oz bottle of Dr. Pepper.
