Is mayonaise good for you, it only has a low amount of saturated fat?!
The oils provide most of the fat, and it is mostly unsaturated ("good") fat. In moderation, mayonnaise is fine to eat. As for good FOR you, I don't believe so; it is probably health neutral in that while the fats ARE good fats, they aren't essential. They also aren't bad for you in moderate amounts.
As to some of the other people posting here, mayo does NOT clog your arteries and contains very small amount of egg yolk (usually 2 yolks per jar, which is a small amount of fat and cholesterol per serving).
It is certainly not "death"; people are focused on the caloric content of the mayo which is not an indication of the health potential of food. Calories provide no information regarding the health of a food, only the energy content of food.
Nonetheless, it would probably be better to eat mustard if you ARE worried about calories, but don't dilute yourself into thinking that high calories = "liquid death."
Answers: Mayonnaise is composed of vegetable oils emulsified with an acidic liquid (vinegar, lemon juice, etc) by egg.

no...its very bad
Its not bad for you but everything in moderation!
LOL-no. It has a great deal of fat/calories. Hence, why it is so good. =)
And extremely high fat, calories and cholesterol. It is made of egg yolks. Just about the worst thing in the world for you.
if u thhink regular mayo is bad and un heathy just get kight mayo it tastes the same and it has less fat
Full of fat, cholestorol, its practically death in a jar.
mayyonaise clogs your rteries and can give heart attacks which leads to death...BEWARE OF MAYYONAISE!!! Caution...i warned u!
one of the worst things you can eat. i always put mustard on a sandwhich instead of mayo. makes it a million times healthier
Mayonnaise usually has pretty high sugar, this is harder to work off than fat is, also high sugar affects your blood sugar balance (obviously)
Mayonnaise isn't really that good for you...
In a way it is. Even if it is really bad nutritionally, if you have it on a sald or a healthy lean chicken sandwhich, it can enhance the taste. If you are trying to stick to healthy foods but don't particularly like it, doing whatever you can to make it taste nicer can really help you stick with it, which is better for you in the long run.
A little bit of mayo on your sandwhich is far better than giving up and tucking into burger and chips or a takeaway.
well it isn't horrible for you but salad dressing is much better
Too much is bad.
um well no it's not that great for you. It has quite a large amount of calories compared to other condiments and it's really high in fat (yes, saturated). It doesn't really have any nutritional value besides fat. So it's OK to eat in moderation but don't eat it like it's going out of style or anything....I think that ketchup is better! :)
Mayonnaise=100 calories and 11 grams of fat per serving :(
Ketchup= 15 calories and 0 grams fat per serving! :)
Mustard= 0 calories and 0 grams fat per serving! (cool, huh?)
nooo...bad bad bad
I love it
No. !>
mayo is so delish...i only like Hellman's...but bad news cuz its not good for you and very fattening
