Maud Johnson’s friend, Diane Brimmell, confirms that Maud Johson has been drinking coke for a long time

In an interview with Birmingham Live, Diane Brimmell, a friend of the 100-year-old woman, confirmed that Maud has been drinking Coke for over two decades. “It’s well known that Maud drinks 24 cans of coke a week, has six sugars in her Cappuccinos, and likes red wine too,” she admitted. “For at least the past 23 years, she’s been drinking coca cola like that, probably much longer.”

She also revealed that Maud has enjoyed perfect health over the years and still maintains her agility. “But she walks quicker than some of the people 20 years younger than her and won’t use a Zimmer frame or wheelchair,” Brimmell shared with Birmingham Live. “Whenever you ask her, ‘how are you Maud?’ she says ‘I’m living, darling, I’m living.’ She’s amazing for 100 and keeps active. Maybe the coke helps with it all, you never know.”
