What's wrong with Mayo and other fats?

[gbrice75]

I'm just wondering why most of you would recommend staying away from regular mayo, just as an example. I'm under the impression (and I most certainly could be wrong) that as long as saturated fat is low, the fat you're consuming is relatively safe so long as you staying below your daily fat macro 'threshold'.

For instance, regular Hellman's Mayonnaise, for 1tbsp. is 90 calories, 10g fat, of which 1.5 is saturated. Why would this be bad? Now of course I understand I can't take 4 tbsp. and mix in with a can of tuna, but would 1-2tbsp. per day be so bad?

I'm sure there are other foods out there with similar values that have a bad rap.

Smart Balance Mayonnaise is good stuff, and has an excellent ratio of o-m-e-g-a fats. I don't really like mayo, but this stuff tastes great IMO.
