30-Second Homemade Olive Oil Mayonnaise (That’s Actually Good for You)

It’s actually shockingly difficult to find mayonnaise in the supermarket that isn’t filled with harmful ingredients.

Let’s take a look at some of these ingredients: Soybean oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon juice, calcium disodium edta, natural flavors.

These ingredients have been found in the biggest brand of mayonnaise in the United States: Hellman’s. Half of the ingredients are most likely made from genetically modified (GMO) crops. The eggs are also produced from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), widely referred to as factory farms.

Soybean oil

It is one of the most genetically modified crops in the United States and throughout the world. 94% of the soy grown in the USA is genetically modified. Additionally, seed oils are high in omega-6 fats and linked to inflammation, obesity, and other health problems.

Natural flavors

A vague term that includes many ingredients that people don’t consider to be natural.

Vinegar

Made from corn, of which 89 percent is GMO

EDTA

EDTA is a horrible food additive. that the USDA actually has a red page to talk about it. It is a known carcinogen, that, according to the USDA you shouldn’t eat more than 3 grams a day, and never eat it more than 3 times in a week.
