Turner told the Daily Mirror that she was addicted to the sugar-filled drink.

"I could drink Coke all day and not think of the effect it had on me," Turner said. "I was always tired and had no energy to do anything, but now, I can take my children out and run around in the park with them."

Coca-Cola Great Britain told the Mirror that "All of our drinks can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle."
