Eli5: why do people say Mayo is unhealthy?

1.77K 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?

Mayo is roughly 80% fat. Fat is very good at storing calories, which makes it easy to consume a lot of calories without you really noticing it. If you consume more calories than you use up you could end up overweight.
