Eli5: why do people say Mayo is unhealthy?

1.79K viewsOther

Hey everyone.. maybe this is a dumb question, but recently I’ve been wondering why people hate Mayo and say it’s so unhealthy!

Like isn’t it just.. eggs, oil, and seasoning?

Those are all things that to their own extents aren’t considered unhealthy when being looked individually, so why is it that when put together to create Mayo, they suddenly create something unhealthy?

I know Mayo is considered a fat, but I didn’t think it was THAT bad? And aren’t there healthy fats as well?

It’s not, but it’s high calorie and too many people conflate the two. Now for me, mayo isnt the best idea but that’s because my digestive system doesn’t do well with high fat foods anymore and I end up feeling really sick (oh do I miss fried food). But unless your body also struggles to properly digest fats, it’s fine in moderation.
