New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the beverage industry companies that are fighting his 16 ounce soda size limits are both wrong, indicates a recent study published in the April 9 issue of PLoS One, the Public Library of Science, an online, free-access research journal (bit.ly/17rxwTo).

The city has appealed the decision.
