Well, I think it goes to what camp you are in. There are those that say that any vinegary foods spell trouble for candida, and Hellman's has vinegar. It has some Sugar too, but prob. not too much. My candida did not do well on any vinegars - I got a reaction. But, other candida sufferers seem to be ok on vinegars, and even thrive on ACV vinegar. I don't see anything else particularly evil in the ingreds. list.
