"#2. Use nutrition labels to estimate the trans fat content in a product. Add up the saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. If they are less than the "total fat" number, the remainder is likely trans fat, says Moore."
Looking at hellmans mayonnaise (non-diet) In 100g Fat - 79.1g of which Saturates 5.6g of which polyunsaturates 22.0g of which Omega 3 fatty acids 7.3g
Clearly there are other fats not listed. As 5.6+22+7.3 don't make 79.1
What fats are not listed? and why? And could it be trans fats? If you say it doesn't contain trans fats, then how can you be sure? I have heard that some other mayos do contain trans fats.
Look at the ingredients list rather than the nutritional information. If you see any hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated oils listed, those are trans fats.

As for me, I eat so little mayo that I don't worry about the type of fat in it. 🙂

yes, that thought had crossed my mind. Of course I checked that. It didn't say there were any hydrogenated/partially hydrogenated oils. So looking further, I checked the nutrition, which didn't add up. It passes the no hydrogenated oil listed test, but doesn't pass the fat adding up test. And that is still a problem.

The Omega 3 fatty acids are also polyunsaturates, so you can't add them if you have already added those.

The monounsaturated fats are not listed and will probably account for most if not all of what is missing to the 79.1 g.

Have you considered making your own mayonnaise? All it is is oil, egg, vinegar and/or lemon juice. After all, if you make your own, you know what is in it :-)
Here's a basic recipe: 1 cup oil 1 egg 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice salt, pepper, paprika as desired

Can one use something besides egg yolks to lower the cholesterol?
Sorry but no. After all, it's maynnaise :-/ My only suggestion is to use it in moderation. My thought was that you can both reduce the transfats to zero and add some good fats via using an appropriate oil (canola, etc.) if you make it yourself.

You could use a pasturized(in shell) egg or a pasturized egg substitute. Also, wash the egg shell (and your hands) before cracking the egg.
Are you sensitive to dietary cholesterol? About 25% of people are (but about 75% are not). In other words, for most people, saturated fat intake is more closely related to blood serum cholesterol levels so moderate egg consumption should not be a problem -- I've read both one egg a day or four eggs per week as suggestions. Also, this is a good article on eggs that you might find interesting:

To lower cholesterol, lose weight and start exercising substantially. Just not eating eggs will not help you much. Weight loss and exercise though, on any diet, usually help lower cholesterol and increase good cholesterol and decrease bad cholesterol.
In any case, if you don't like cholesterol from eggs, just do not eat mayonnaise... it's that simple.

Yes, but it won't be mayonnaise. The yolk has several functions, one of which is to help maintain the oil-water emulsion. You can substitute lecithin but it tastes like [censored] and looks like you already ran it through a llama once.

Make the mayo and let it sit at room temp for at least 8 hours. The acidity (should be around pH 3.6) will kill the salmonella. That's what the commercial producers do.
And, yes, mayo does fine at room temp. No spoilage until we introduce other stuff on knives when we scoop it out. Commercial mayo isn't processed or cooked. They make it and pop it into bottles. They hold it in their warehouses for a short maturation time and ship it to stores. Nowhere in there is it heated or cooled away from room temp.
The monounsaturated fats are not listed and will probably account for most if not all of what is missing to the 79.1 g.
but there are no guarantees that there are no transfats. It's a dangerous thing to guess about.

It is fully possible to partially-hydrogenate oils without producing trans-fats. (They are removed by purification during the production) But not all producers do that since it diminishes profits. And that is the key here. Profit.

Egg contain some cholesterol, but that content don't affect your cholesterol concentration in your blood at all. But ingestion of some fats do. Transfats increases LDL, saturated fats it is newly published increases HDL and some PUFA's seem to decrease HDL specifically, especially linoleic acid and arachidonate.
