Is there any advantage of using Coca leaves instead of Coca Cola ?
I saw some people chew Coca leaves and feel good

that's upsetting... I thought Coca Cola was all about Coca leaves.It’s where cocaine gets its name. Coca Cola hasn’t had coca in it for decades. So the effects between the two today are incomparable. I had a coworker from Peru who said that chewing on coca leaves was used for pain relief.
carbonation I guessthat's upsetting... I thought Coca Cola was all about Coca leaves.
Then what's the secret of health benefits of Coca Cola ?
"Despite the implications of its name, there is no evidence that the current version of Coca-Cola syrup contains kola nut extract, which was originally included for its caffeine content. The modern source of that additive is probably caffeine citrate, a byproduct of the decaffeination of coffee.[18]"Caffeine from the kola beans and sugar.
If that’s true, I see no use in drinking Coca Cola whatsoever.
I agree. I chewed them and made tea with them and tea is much better. Chewing feels too estrogenic, feels a bit like cocaine (no surprise).I've chewed coca leaves in Bolivia and Peru where they are legal (part of Peru, not all of it). They have some interesting qualities. The tea is nice. Hard to get the leaves though. They are associated with the crazed War on Drugz of course.
My dad traveled South America extensively in the ‘70s and said the locals in certain areas would recommend coca for altitude sickness. But he said farmers and other laborers chewed it because it staved off hunger and gave them an energy boost to keep working.Chewing the leaves gives a subtle high. Tea does almost nothing for me. They are legal in parts of Peru which is where I had them, and Bolivia.
