Indian Elements Cola Nut

Cola Nut is a nut that originates from West Africa and has been used there for a very long time for its potentially invigorating and hunger-suppressing effects similar to those of coffee. Traditionally, the nut is used in rituals where it was offered to important guests. In 1911, the kola nut suddenly became known due to the confiscation of about forty barrels of kola nuts and about twenty barrels of Coca-Cola syrup by the American government, which claimed that the caffeine in the drink would be very harmful to health. The American government filed a lawsuit against Coca-Cola to ensure that the company would remove caffeine from the soft drink. The American government lost the lawsuit, however, in 1912 two laws were passed that resulted in caffeine being listed as a harmful substance and the mandatory disclosure of the presence of caffeine in beverages.
