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 really bad for you because it’s packed with calories, and is easily consumed without noticing a major difference.

Just a single tablespoon of mayonnaise is 100kcal, the same as a single apple, a banana or two oranges.

In comparison to other condiments, 1 tbsp of ketchup is 15kcal and 1tbsp of mustard is 10kcal.
