Why do I need to know this recipe?
Most mayonnaise producers use vegetable oils as a base such as rapeseed, canola, corn oil, sunflower, and safflower oil. These oils are highly inflammatory and should be avoided.
Additionally, vegetable oils oxidise easily because they get damaged by exposure to light, heat, and air, causing further inflammation in our bodies.
