Mayo or Salad Cream - which is better for you if you had to have one?

Question

I have heard salad cream is better for you and lower in calories.

Just to clarify - It is not salad dressing like olive oil etc., it is the salad cream by Heinz

Answer 1

Neither are 100% healthy.

Mayonnaise containts vegetable oil and egg yolk and is flavored with vinegar.

Salad cream is made from vinegar, vegetable oil, water, sugar, mustard, salt, egg yolks and lots of other stuff.

Your decision should be based on what you are eating. Sambo - then mayo. (Unless the sandwich is cheese and grilled peppers, then salad cream is better). For a salad - then choose salad cream.

Answer 2

I am diabetic and have had one heart stint put in a couple of years ago. I just recently ask my doctor why was mayonnaise suppose to be so bad for me as today most mayo's are made with soybean oil and the medical profession claims soy is suppose to be good for your health and heart. He told me because of the sugar that was in it. When I got home I checked the label on the jar in the frig. I did not see sugar in it any where. My preference has always been mayonnaise over salad dressing as there is something in salad dressing that does not agree with my taste buds. To me, and I have heard everything there is to hear about how mayonaise is bad for you, the only ingrediant I can see being the worst for me is the egg in it. Of course now they claim eggs are good for you. I think we need to accept the fact that Drs. don't have all the answers and we have to take the information provided to us and make the decission for ourselves if a certain food is actually good for us.
