I found this interesting article about a claim that Coca-Cola is still using the coca leave as an ingredient - for flavoring purposes (of course), There apperantly is a loop hole that allows contries to legally import coca leaves, Only one company in the US does so, this company is said to be a business partner of Coca-Cola.

It appears so. Coca-Cola imports decocainized coca leaves from Bolivia and Peru to make the concentrate and syrup for its flagship beverage. However, the formula is considered trade secret so there may not be any public discussion of the details by the company.

Apparently when coke was the real thing it was using cornstarch as a flavoring sweetener and now it uses a sugar substitue.
