Mayonnaise Helps Protect Women from Strokes, Says American Society for Clinical Nutrition
Mayonnaise, abbreviated as mayo,[1] is a stable emulsion of oil, egg yolk and either vinegar or lemon juice,[2] with many options for embellishment with other herbs and spices. Lecithin in the egg yolk is the emulsifier.[3] It is often cream in color, and may range in texture from that of light running cream to thick. In countries influenced by France, mustard is also a common ingredient, whereas in Spain it is made using the same ingredients, but specifically olive oil as the oil, and never with mustard. Numerous other sauces can be created from it with addition of various herbs, spices, and finely chopped pickles. Where mustard is used, it is also an emulsifier.[4][5]
Using the Iowa Women's Health Study, the researchers found that postmenopausal women who ingested significant amounts of vitamin E from food were less likely to die due to a stroke. The most concentrated vitamin E food source consumed by this sampling was mayonnaise.
"Overall, our results suggest that higher intakes of vitamin E from foods may be associated with a lower risk of death from stroke. Evidence for a protective role of vitamin E against death from stroke is supported by a plausible biologic mechanism and our observation of a strong, dose-response relation," the researchers wrote
