The Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is calling for a municipal ban on sales of super-sized sugary drinks in an attempt to tackle obesity.

He wants to stop the city's restaurants, delis, sports stadiums and cinemas from selling large sizes of sweetened soft drinks.

Research suggests that 58% of adults in New York are obese or overweight.

The New York City Beverage Association said the measures, which could come into effect next year, were "zealous".

"The city is not going to address the obesity issue by attacking soda [sweetened soft drinks] because soda is not driving the obesity rates," spokesman Stefan Friedman said in a statement.

But officials at Mayor Bloomberg's office at City Hall disagree. Citing a 2006 study, they argue that sugary drinks are the biggest factor in rising calorie consumption and obesity levels.
