 Nothing beats Coffee-Mate regular powder!May 18, 2009
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
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."

all right by me !!!Aug 11, 2007
Coffee-mate makes for an excellent milk or cream substitute for people who want a cup of coffee, cocoa or even tea when they don't have access to a refrigerator to keep milk or cream on hand. Coffee-mate therefore comes in very handy in many workplaces, naturally, but you just might wind up using this instead of milk or cream even if you do have access to a refrigerator with milk or cream in it!
Coffee-mate is easy enough to use--just add three or four teaspoons full of it into your cup of coffee, tea or whatever beverage you want.
I would use Coffee-mate by the expiration date on the bottom of the plastic container; and the container gives you simple instructions for turning this powdery substance into liquid just in case you want to do that.
The nutrition label claims it contains no trans-fats but I notice that it contains partially hydrogenated oils. This may indicate that the trans-fats in Coffee-mate are present but very negligible.
Have further questions? Just give them a call or surf on over to their website. They provide you with the website address and a toll free number if you have more questions about vanilla caramel flavored Coffee-mate.
Overall, Coffee-mate provides an excellent, mildly sweet tasting substitute for milk, cream and anything else that contains lactose. You may want to use it to sweeten your coffee, tea or cocoa even if you have access to fresh refrigerated milk that you can use. It's THAT good.
Enjoy!!!
