1. Heart health
Studies have found that the vitamin E content in mayonnaise can prevent strokes.
What’s more, the omega-3 found in mayo is great for keeping your heart healthy and can ward off sudden heart attack.
Hayley Netser from online therapist directory clickfortherapy.com also explains how it can help with stroke risk.
“Because of the antioxidant profile of this condiment, eating it might just help decrease the risk of succumbing to stroke.
2. Helps absorb nutrients better
Lots of vitamins and minerals like vitamins A, D, E and K are all fat-soluble.
This means that they need fat to be absorbed and make sure you get all the goodness out of them.
Being both high in good fat and vitamin E means that eating mayonnaise in moderation can help you take in all of these important nutrients.
3. Lowers cholesterol
As well as helping with the absorption of all sorts of important minerals and vitamins, the healthy fats in mayonnaise can help lower your cholesterol.
“Mayonnaise contains mostly unsaturated fat, from 70% up to 85% of total. This is the so-called ‘healthy’ fat,” explains Evermore Health CEO Alessandra Sollberger.
“This aids nutrient absorption and helps reduce the risk of high blood cholesterol levels.”
4. Vitamins and minerals
Hayley explains that mayonnaise is “rich in vitamin K, E and choline and minerals such as potassium, selenium and also sodium.”
Selenium will fight the aging process and help the immune system by reducing free radical damage, while potassium will keep you strong and help your metabolism.

Mayo is the best
Think of a world without Mayo on Po-Boys, no deviled eggs or potato salad.

A lot of mayo is made with bullshite oils, though. Soybean is the most prevalent one.
Find some made with avocado oil or olive oil and you're good.

Why is mayonnaise unhealthy?
Hello there! Thanks for your question! Mayonnaise is one of those pre-made ingredients that gets a lot of attention. Many people are in the same boat as you on whether or not mayonnaise is unhealthy.
Mayonnaise has about 90 calories per tablespoonand is high in fat but not saturated fat. Most people are most likely eating more than one tablespoon of mayonnaise per meal. Think about the pre-made tuna salad or chicken salad you order at a restaurant. That recipe usually uses more than one tablespoon of mayonnaise. So, you are most likely consuming more calories and more fat if you aren't watching the amount of mayonnaise. The high calories and high fat can lead to some negative health outcomes, such as gaining weight, which can put you at a higher risk of other chronic illnesses.
There are some good alternatives for mayonnaise!
Light mayonnaise or low-fat mayonnaise is a good alternative. It doesn't add sugar to make up for the loss in flavor in full-fat mayonnaise.
Many recipes that uses mayonnaise as an ingredient can be substituted for Greek yogurt, which usually has a lower fat content and adds protein.
Eggless mayonnaise, which uses canola oil or olive oil instead of the egg are just as flavorful as full-fat mayonnaise. However, they usually are still high in calories.
The American Heart Association recommends eating a variety of fruits and vegetables and limiting high calories sauces that may accompany them. Mayonnaise is a high calorie sauce and should be limited.
I would definitely explore EatFresh.org's recipes to find recipes with light mayonnaise. Try this one as a good alternative to potato salad.
Take care!

This.
And there is absolutely nothing wrong with "high calorie sauces" or the fat content in mayo.
I'll take a high fat/low carb (especially sugar) diet any day of the week over the traditional "low fat" diet that the government has been pushing. There's a reason why this country is full of fatasses, and "high calorie sauces" aren't the issue.

His upvote was from me.
Keep thinking eating nothing but sugar and carbs as part of a "low fat" diet is healthy for you.
