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?

When part of a balanced healthy diet, mayonnaise isn’t going to be the thing that kills you via heart attack or CHF.
But when it’s consumed as part of a diet high in processed sugars, unhealthy fats, and processed meats, it’s adding cholesterol and fat. Which has an additive effect on the long term negative health outcomes.
TLDR; on its own, it’s not bad for you. When it’s added to an unhealthy diet in excess, it has the potential to make those outcomes worse.
