 Nothing beats Coffee-Mate regular powder!May 18, 2009
By V. Wright
"mmoon"
I'm so happy Amazon got this in again, finally! Coming in a 12 pack sold by Amazon itself, eligible for free super saver shipping, and shipped in a firmly packaged plastic wrap covering all 12 canisters, it just makes it so convenient to have it shipped to me in bulk and I know I have plenty on hand for a while. I've been a fan of the regular Coffee-mate powder since the early 1970's and nothing seems to be able to compete with it. Even though I've tried the other flavors and the liquids Nestle also makes, and likewise tried other brands, I always come back to this Original Regular Coffee-Mate Powder and believe it will always be my preference for a really rich and flavorful addition to my coffee. Very smooth and blends well, and is shelf stable, which means less trips to the grocery store for me. One of my favorite products that makes for a happy life!

 Contains trans-fat, although the law lets them claim 500 milligrams = 0 gramsNov 11, 2007
By Jon Tyson
The product is labeled as having "zero grams" trans fat, but it also has "partially-hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel" [sic] on the online ingredient list as of Nov 2007. Note that "Partially-hydrogenated oil" is "trans-fat".
The law in the united states allows them to claim "zero grams" if they have 500 milligrams or less.
I will quote from the following article
Mozaffarian et al "Trans Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease,"
The New England Journal of Medicine, volume 354, pages 1601-1613 (2006).
to explain why this is really terrible:
I quote from page 1609 of this article:
"However, the producers of foods that contain less
than 500 mg of trans fatty acids per serving will
be allowed to list the content of trans fatty acids
as 0 on the packaging, so even consumers who
read the labels might unwittingly consume substantial
amounts of trans fats in multiple servings
(for example, several pats of margarine or
several cookies per day)."
Here are a few more quotations from this article:
"given the 1.2 million annual myocardial infarctions and deaths from
CHD ["coronary heart disease"] in the United States,82 near-elimination of
industrially produced trans fats might avert between
72,000 (6 percent) and 228,000 (19 percent)
CHD events [i.e. "heart attacks"] each year.
These estimates are based on the replacement
of trans fats with carbohydrates. In practice, however,
trans fats in partially hydrogenated oils
would most commonly be replaced with unhydrogenated
(cis) unsaturated fats,6 which may have
additional potential benefits as compared with
carbohydrates. If such additional potential benefit
is considered, greater proportions of CHD
events (12 to 22 percent) might be averted."
Note that the disproportionate percentage of heart disease attributable to trans-fat is astonishing, since the authors point on on the first page that trans-fat makes up only 2-3% of the american diet in terms of calories (and fat is high in calories!):
"The average consumption of industrially produced trans
fatty acids in the United States is 2 to 3 percent of total calories consumed."
They conclude
"On the basis of evidence from in vitro experimental
studies, dietary trials, and prospective observational
studies, the consumption of trans fatty
acids from partially hydrogenated oils provides
no apparent nutritional benefit and has considerable
potential for harm."
Professor Willett has also written extensively about trans-fat for a general audience in his book "Eat, Drink, and be Healthy: The Harvard Medical School Guide for Healthy Eating."
Hydrogenated oils are poisonJan 12, 2012
By J. Robinson
Any product with hydrogenated vegetable oils isn't worth buying. The fact that they are pretending not do have any by using a low serving size and rounding down to get to "0" grams, makes this a scam. Shame on you Nestle.
Hydrogenated oils have been banned in NY for a reason - they are poison for the human body. See the Wikipedia article on trans fats for more information. Here is a clip : "Because of these facts and concerns, the NAS has concluded there is no safe level of trans fat consumption. There is no adequate level, recommended daily amount or tolerable upper limit for trans fats. This is because any incremental increase in trans fat intake increases the risk of coronary heart disease.[2] "
never run outDec 08, 2011
By Judy
Amazon's subscribe and save program can't be beat.. we can't live without high quality organic coffee and coffeemate just makes it taste wonderful. Having 12 shipped on a regular basis is so convenient, never have to remember at the grocery store which is higher in $$. I really love the subscribe and save on so many items around our house.
Coffee Mate is a perfect mate for your coffee!Feb 03, 2011
By JoantheShopper
I used to use milk in my coffee. Then lactose intolerance kicked in big time. Coffee Mate to the rescue! I prefer it to (lactose free) milk and any of the generic brands of nondairy creamers, all of which I have tried and no longer buy. Use the liquid version of Coffee Mate if you like to chill your coffee down a tad. I prefer the powder, it keeps the coffee hotter for a little longer. I turned friends onto Coffee Mate when they used the generic versions of it. They say and I agree that there is a huge taste difference between Coffee Mate and generic brands. I also think it tastes better than Creamora
