neutral to good... if you use mustard (which is non-fat) to replace mayo (oil, eggs and vinegar) in a sandwich.
According to the website below, mustard has a bunch of benefits.
Mustard aids digestion
Mustard not only stimulates the appetite by increasing salivation by up to eight times, it also has digestive, laxative, antiseptic, and circulative stimulant properties.
As a digestive aid in moderation, mustard neutralizes toxins and helps ward off an upset stomach. However, too much can be an irritant.
Mustard also contains sulphur, which has been used as a treatment for skin diseases.
Mustard plasters or poultices have been applied to the chest to aid in clearing the sinuses and decongest the lungs.
Mustard greens are not recommended for those with thyroid problems as they can cause the thyroid to increase in size.
The second website has a longer list of the benefits of mustard.

It is very important to consult your physician before attempting any holistic home treatment.

Yes it is. Like most foods with ancient roots, mustard has been heralded as a curative. It stimulates appetite and digestion, and clears the sinuses in much the same way as chiles, which are said to be as effective as commercial decongestants. Mustard increases blood circulation, hence its use as mustard plaster, a dressing used to bring increased blood flow to inflamed areas of the body. Mustard flour sprinkled in your socks is said to save your toes from frostbite, a claim which is also made about cayenne pepper and other spices containing volatile oils.
One of mustard's greatest health benefits is that it provides tremendous flavor for few calories and little fat. A gram of mustard flour contains just 4.3 calories and simple mustard preparations can be eaten with impunity by nearly everyone. Mustard itself contains no cholesterol, only trace amounts of vegetable fat, and is between 25-32% protein, depending on the variety of plant. Leaf mustard contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and Vitamin B.

ALL THE MUSTARD! Seriously though I can't choose I love mustard in all it's forms. Which is bizarre because I hated it as a child!

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://tinyurl.im/aHLuQ
The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Mustard is low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Copper, and a very good source of Manganese and Selenium. It also tastes great and comes in a variety of flavours.

Mustard is good for you. It adds flavors to your food with added calories. I eat mustard on practically everything even mixed in my rice and grits.
