Even kijken of er een verband in zit
Wanneer Coca-cola gelanceerd werd waren twee zeer belangrijke ingrediënten cocaïne (benzoylmethylecgonine) en cafeïne. De cocaïne kwam uit het cocablad en de cafeïne van kolanoten - Coca-Cola (' K' in Kola werd vervangen met een c. voor marketing doeleinden).
Coca - Cocaïne
Pemberton wilde vijf ons cocablad per 4,546 liter stroop, een significante dosis
(Vertaald uit: When launched Coca Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine (benzoylmethyl ecgonine) and caffeine. The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nuts - Coca-Cola (the 'K' in Kola was replaced with a C for marketing purposes).
Coca - Cocaine
Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose, whereas, in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton's original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed. Coca Cola still contains coca flavoring.
After 1904, Coca Cola started using, instead of fresh leaves, "spent" leaves - the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level. To this day, Coca Cola uses as an ingredient a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.
In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant. Stepan laboratory in Maywood, New Jersey, is the nation's only legal commercial importer of coca leaves, which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca Cola, Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use. N.J. Stepan buys about 100 metric tons of dried Peruvian coca leaves each year, said Marco Castillo, spokesman for Peru's state-owned National Coca Co.
Kola Nuts - Caffeine
Kola nuts act as a flavoring in Coca Cola, but are also the beverage's source of caffeine. In Britain, for example, the ingredient label states "Flavourings (Including Caffeine)". Kola nuts contain about 2 to 3.5 percent caffeine, are of bitter flavor and are commonly used in cola soft drinks. In 1911 The US government initiated United States v. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola, hoping to force Coca Cola to remove caffeine from its formula. The case was decided in favor of Coca Cola. Subsequently, in 1912 the US Pure Food and Drug Act was amended, adding caffeine to the list of "habit-forming" and "deleterious" substances which must be listed on a product's label.
Coca Cola contains 34 mg/12 fl oz of caffeine, while Diet Coke Caffeine-Free contains 0 mg. Caffeine may be used by athletes as ergogenic aid - to increasing the capacity for mental or physical labor. The ergogenic qualities of caffeine are contested, although there is strong evidence that it may significantly enhance endurance performance. For this reason, caffeine is listed as a restricted substance by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Nevertheless Coca Cola was the leading sponsor of the 1996 summer Olympic games.)

Pepsi werd gemaakt in het begin van de jaren 1890 in New Bern, Noord-Carolina door apotheker Caleb Bradham en werd oorspronkelijk „Brad Drink“ genoemd, naar de achternaam van de maker. Het werd gemaakt van sprankelend water, suiker, vanille, zeldzame oliën, pepsine en kolanoten.
Pepsine is een enzym dat geactiveerd wordt door het maagzuur tijdens de vroegste stadia van de spijsvertering, om eiwitten in de maag af te breken. Het wordt door bepaalde cellen in uit de maagwand, de hoofdcellen genaamd, afgescheiden. Pepsine blijft normaal gezien op non-actief, onder de vorm van pepsinogeen, het wordt enkel geactiveerd bij sterk stijgend maagzuur als reactie op een voedselprikkel.
Pepsine is een agressief enzym dat gemakkelijk de eigen maagwand kan oplossen, gelukkig is de maagwand bekleed met een dikke slijmlaag die de maag ook beschermt tegen andere enzymen zoals lipase en eventueel gal bij galbraken.
