From what I hear and have read, yes it is a fact. Coke was made from the coca shrub (leaf) and cola nut. It was also advertised for its "medicinal" abilities. At some point, they [coca-cola] went from using fresh coca leaves to "spent" coca leaves. (Cocaine removed). That’s what I have read anyway.
