Es importante entender la diferencia entre coca y cocaína. La coca, cuyo uso doméstico data de unos cuatro a seis mil años, es la hoja sagrada del pueblo andino. La cocaína, por su parte, es una invención europea de hace 140 años. Se necesitan 41 productos químicos para poder extraer la cocaína de la hoja de coca y se requieren 110 kilos de hojas para producir 600 gramos de cocaína pura. La coca contiene 14 alcaloides estimulantes, siendo el principal la cocaína, pese a su ínfima proporción. Según estudios científicos, la hoja andina contiene menos de un 0,08 por ciento de cocaína pura, que entran en su forma activa por la acción alcalina de la saliva al ser masticada. 5, record 1, Spanish, - coca%C3%ADna

Coco. Origine végétale. Fibre provenant du cocotier. Elle est retirée de l'enveloppe du fruit puis traitée. La fibre obtenue est tenace, grossière et raide. Utilisée pour la fabrication de tapis et en corderie. Cette fibre se distingue des autres de part sa teneur élevée en lignine (40 %), ce qui explique sa raideur. Pouvant atteindre 30 cm de longueur, elle a un diamètre moyen de 0,3 mm. La fibre de coco ou «coir» est la seule fibre textile extraite de fruits. Elle n'absorbe presque pas de poussière et se nettoie pour ainsi dire elle-même. 2, record 2, French, - fibre%20de%20coco
