American Foods That Were Banned In Other Countries Part 4

Coffee Mate Coffee mate is a convenient way to add sweetness and cream without having to add milk and sugar separately

But did you know that coffee mate is banned in these countries? And why is it banned you ask

Yep, you guessed it. It's some ingredients that are bad for you like hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils

These oils are known to increase the risk of heart disease. The United States even banned these ingredients in 2018, but officials did nothing about the

existing product out there. Meaning there's still plenty of it floating around

in rats. So what can you do if you love chewing gum but you're concerned about the use of BHA

There are several brands available that use natural preservatives instead
