Swedish woman allowed to seek treatment for ‘Coke’ addiction

A Swedish court has ruled that a woman be allowed to seek treatment for her addiction to Coca Cola. For years, the woman from Malmö in southern Sweden has struggled to control her urge to consume large quantities of the popular soft drink and other foods.
Her eating habits have given her a range of health problems, resulting in emergency hospitalization for diabetes and high blood pressure.
Deaf since childhood, the woman claims that her food addiction is a side-effect of her handicap. She’s been fighting with public authorities in Sweden to gain access to special treatment to help her with her condition.
