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?

It’s not that it’s bad, but it is calorie dense. People often don’t think about condiments when counting calories, but adding mayo to a sandwich could add 100 calories.
