Traditional commercially prepared mayonnaise contains high levels of omega 6 oils which as we know lead to many disease states. Hellman’s mayonnaise gets a C- score on the Fooducate website because of the GMO production. Even Trader Joe’s mayonnaise which is non-GMO still contains chemicals and natural flavorings. I stumbled upon this homemade mayo recipe in Mark Sisson’s , The Primal Blueprint Cookbook.
