I didn't realise that mayo had such a lot of good fat in!

the problem with mayo isn't hydrogenated fats or sugars (at least any mayo's i've seen)
and the saturated fat is also low.
the problem lies in the fatty acid content of soybean oil, which is almost all omega-6. so again, it's another food with plenty of omega-6's but no omega-3's to offer. that's why people don't consider it a good source of fat.
and safflower oil is no better than soybean oil. in fact, it has a higher amount of omega-6's and lower monounsaturates.

the best option i've seen is canola oil mayo. however olive oil mayo would be fine too, but you'd probably have to make it yourself, unless someone else knows of a place to buy it.

Round here most of the mayos are soy bean oil, but out of 7 different choices there will always be 1 canola oil mayo and it tastes just fine.
