Soybean oil and rapeseed (aka Canola) oil are both lousy for you, and egg yolk is good for you. The saturated fat in the "real" mayo is a plus from both a taste and health perspective. I'd be curious to see what the carb component of the faux mayo is, it's trivial, but "bad."1 tbsp Original Vegenaise

The vegan brand is demonstrably healthier, pretty much across the board. It also gets its fat from canola (rapeseed) oil, which is a healthier source than Hellman's soybean oil. And while taste is a personal matter, if you tried it, I suspect you'd like it. Vegan mayonnaise is wonderful.
This is much better than either of those two from both health and taste perspectives--while olive oil is rather bland it is healthy, and egg yolk and coconut oil = two of the tastiest and healthiest fats around: Tropical Traditions - Recipe - Coconut Mayonnaise
