Eli5: why do people say Mayo is unhealthy?

1.76K 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?

Like many things, its unhealthy just cause its easy to eat a lot of it without noticing. If you just put a teaspoon of mayo on a sandwich then its not unhealthy, it just adds a little extra calories, but if you add a bunch of mayo into a dressing then you can see the calories start to go up fast.
