    Why? Because the internet is full of pseudoscience.

    Neither are good or bad for you. Eat them up if you like them.

    Neither one is good for you, but giving up mayo is pretty easy.

    Peanut butter, on the other hand, is so very, very yummy!!

    Giving up mayo (or restricting it) was hard-ish for me. Easier to restrict PB. I used to eat mayo sandwiches on white bread! Calorie bomb right there, lol

    ETA: I also used to eat butter and peanut butter sandwiches on white bread, lol.

    Mayo sandwich? Ew! ;)

    I am, of course, speaking for me there. I know some people don't even like PB. Wish I were one of them! But if I never had any mayo again, I'd be fine with that.

    Different strokes! :)

    My mother - who fed us just about the most unhealthy diet possible, lol - used to make us butter and PB on white bread. It's not bad tasting!

    I can live without mayo mostly, the only thing I really use it for now is tuna fish and club sandwiches and for the clubs, I mix it half and half with dijon mustard, yum!

    Neither are bad for you however it's true that Peanut butter will give you more benefits/cals VS the mayo.
    Peanut butter as protein and healthy fat were mayo is close to empty calories, most of the time.

    It's really up to you. I will never give up my PB and banana toast in the morning or banana bread/muffin covered in PB. On the other end I always liked Nutella but I kind of gave up on it. I didn't like it enough for the caloric intake it represented versus the protein I need in the morning. I never cared much for mayo. I always preferred mustard or other dipping sauce (like hummus or tzatziki in sandwich).

    Why would you even compare PB to Mayo??? they are not used the same way. This post is wrong in so many ways.

    Favorite sammies as a kid:

    Tuna salad (tuna mixed with mayo, chopped onion and celery)
    Egg salad (with mayo)
    Baloney with mayo
    Peanut butter and grape jelly
    Peanut butter and honey and banana

    All of the above on wonderbread!

    I can live without mayo, but I do eat it (the kind with olive oil). Now PB? I think I know what my snack is going to be!

    What do you mean? She wasn't asking about how they are used, she was asking why so many internet sites say one is bad and the other is not.

    In case it needs to be said, Mayo and PB are two different things.

    FYI.

    They both should be on the "throw away and never buy again" list. Peanut butter isn't good for you. People that are allergic to peanut butter are actually allergic to the fungus that grows on it (true fact! =) Almond butter has more amino acids, fight heart disease, and doesn't spike your blood sugar like peanut butter does. Check to see how much sugar is in your peanut butter. Not good.

    Mayo is made from eggs, vinegar, and oil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypQuZX5MVsI
    It doesn't have transfat and really isn't all that bad for you. If you stick to natural brands with real mayo then you should be fine, but if you can give it up and use some alternatives then that would be better

    My organic peanut butter has lots of protein and 1 gram of sugar, so I have no intention of throwing it away.

    No food is bad for you unless you are allergic to eat, or overeat it. Or if someone laced it with cyanide or something, then yeah, throw it away.

    PB gets the love because it has protein.

    I can't stand Mayo, so I really don't care whether the internet likes it or not :tongue:
