Eli5: why do people say Mayo is unhealthy?

1.78K 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?

1tbsp Ketchup has approx. 17 kcal.

1tbsp Mayonnaise has approx. 94 kcal.

It’s not technically “unhealthy”, but compared to its most popular alternative, it has about 5.5x more kcal for the same amount of sauce. I hope this answers your question.
