UPI. MADISON, Wis., May 11â Commercial mayonnaise may have been unfairly labeled as a source of food spoilage during the warm months, according to a study by the Food Research Institute of the University of Wisconsin. The study found that mayonnaise in salads actually helped reduce spoilage.
I'm not suggesting that mayonnaise is a health food, but with soybean oil, eggs and vinegar as the primary ingredients in most brands of regular mayo, it's hardly one of the most damaging foods out there. One misconception is that mayonnaise is high in saturated fat. It's not: Although it's high in total fat, the saturated fat content ranges from just 1 to 2 grams per tablespoon -- about what you get in a tablespoon of olive oil. We also think of mayonnaise as high in cholesterol, thanks to the egg yolks. But with current nutritional guidelines recommending that we limit our daily cholesterol intake to 200 to 300 milligrams, the 5 to 10 milligrams of cholesterol in a serving of mayo is trivial. So here's the deal: If you use a thin spread of mayonnaise here and there, it's no big deal.
