The story can be found here and here among various other sources. Coke and Pepsi have threatened to sue CSE over the findings claiming that the tests should be carried by an international body rather an the India based NGO.Meanwhile, following the furore in the parliament, sale of soft drinks has been banned in the house. The members are even demanding a blanket ban on sale of products from these two companies. [Kuro5hin.org]
