Vegetable oils are toxic and inflammatory.  Don't eat them, don't cook with them, and don't even have them in your house.  This is a basic principle for improving your health - don't eat inflammatory toxic foods.  But this creates one big problem - what do I mix into my egg salad, tuna salad, or coleslaw?  What do I mix with tomato sauce and dill relish to make Thousand Island dressing? The problem is commercial mayonnaise are all made from vegetable oils like soybean, safflower, cottonseed, and canola.  There are some exotic types like grape seed oil that are a bit less toxic due to the antioxidants in the grape seed, but they are still prone to rancidity and toxicity.  Some brands mix a bit of olive oil in with the soybean oil, which is going in the right direction, but not far enough.  There is still the toxic soybean oil in it.

What to do?  Mayonnaise is a staple food in classic American cooking.  I have tried making mayonnaise out of the darling of the health oils - coconut (disgusting results.)  The results were nothing like mayonnaise in either taste or texture.  I don't personally like the taste of olive oil.  I had considered avocado oil a couple years ago, but the only bottles I could find were tiny, way overpriced, and usually flavored. These three oils are the only oils I am aware of that are low enough in the pro-inflammatory polyunsaturated oils to consider using as food.

Well a couple months ago I came across a good-sized bottle of straight avocado oil at a reasonable price.  Last weekend I finally got around to trying to make mayonnaise with it.

Success!  The results were outstanding.  Ellen used it the next day to make egg salad.  The finished salad was every bit as good as egg salad made with Best Foods.  Now the much more healthful avocado oil mayonnaise can become a staple in our household.  Today I tried reproducing the recipe using a light olive oil to hold down the olive taste to take photos of the process.  Again the results were superb.  In minutes I had a wonderful coleslaw.

Making mayonnaise for me is super simple because I use a hand wand blender.  With this gizmo it only takes about 20 seconds to whip up a batch of fresh Mayo.

Into a quart Mason jar put:
1 tsp. Salt - heaping
3 tsp. Dry mustard
1 tsp. Dr Dave 2x sugar
¼ cup Distilled vinegar
1 Tbs. Lemon juice
2 large room temp Eggs
2 ½ cups room temp Avocado oil or Olive Oil

With the hand wand blender using the blending blade start blending at the very bottom of the ingredients for 12 seconds then slowly raise the blender up through the oil to incorporate the oil into the whipped eggs and spices on the bottom...probably another 8 seconds.  There, all done.

If you are using a traditional blender you start with blending all the ingredients except the oil, then slowly drizzle the oil into the blender until the oil is all emulsified into the egg mixture.

I know this seems like an extreme hassle making your own mayonnaise, and I avoided it for a long time, but there were just too many things I like to eat that involve the creamy white goodness of mayonnaise.  So just like all the other replacement foods I have had to create to be able to eat without poisoning myself, this is one more upgrade to my diet.  

It is just the addition to add to a low carb sandwich made with my Miracle Protein Bread to make the sandwich feel and taste like a normal sandwich.  Or if I want the straight experience there are always artichokes dipped in mayonnaise.

If you are not planning to use the mayonnaise fairly quickly then make only half a recipe.  This does contain egg so you want to keep it in the fridge and use it up within a week.  The vinegar and lemon juice make it acidic enough that it is pretty safe, but if you want to be even safer, add more vinegar to the recipe or the finished product.  (I like adding the vinegar juice from a bottle of pepperoncini for a little kick.)  Don't feel limited to just the ingredients I used.  Try organic apple cider vinegar for a different flavor, or any flavored vinegar.  Add any spices and herbs you might like.  If you are a Miracle Whip fan then just add a little more Dr. Dave sugar to the mix.  How about adding a little chili sauce?

I know most people don't like to cook or even prepare food anymore, but to be healthy the simply is no other way.  The prepared food available in the stores simply is not healthy.  Most raw or single ingredient foods are fine, but prepared foods are created and marketed based on misguided principles as to what makes up healthy food.  One of the biggest lies is that polyunsaturated fats are good for you and that saturated fats are bad.  Since this is the national mindset, food producers create their recipes in line with these mistaken beliefs.  Until enough people wake up and demand foods made without inflammatory polyunsaturated oils, the food creators will keep manufacturing food poisons for us to buy and eat.  At this point the only recourse is to make your own foods.

Fortunately, most foods that are healthy are easy to prepare.  Ellen and I spend a few hours Sunday afternoons preparing our food for the week.  That is all it takes to make up enough to keep us well fed for the week so we don't use up time and energy during the week trying to make meals.  It has been a trial and error process, but we have it down to a pretty smooth operation now.  

Healthy home made food is possible even for families where both people work.  As this newsletter shows, the food can even be "normal" food, not weird or unusual.  We just cook it ourselves and leave out the toxic ingredients or replace them with healthy alternatives.

Take care,

David
