None, your body treats them all the same, they all cause an insulin spike in your body and are all not good for you. If anyone has Netflix watch a documentary called fed up.

since i can only speak with authority on "one example" (me)...

when i cut all that crap out of my diet (in addition to most saturated fat, and other "goodies" i had indulged myself in for 50 years), i literally felt 20 years younger within 3 months...

only real sugar, and in moderation...   someone said earlier that "sugar is bad for you"...   an overabundance of sugar is bad for you...

i still crave candy bars and coca-cola...  and will occasionally allow myself a "mexican coke" (real sugar, no hfcs crap)...

I'll agree that there are no studies that have confirmed cancer other than a coincidental cancer with intake over many years.

"Coincidental cancer", what does that mean?

Breathing air, drinking water, playing golf... couldn't you also claim "coincidental cancer" to all those activities.  After all, I do all of those, and I did have Leukemia.

I'll also echo the "all in moderation" mantra. Stick to real stuff when you can but also understand that some cheats or artificial foods won't kill you. I eat some "bad "foods everyday, I just budget it into my calorie count.

How did you figure out 1,400 a day? That seems low.

For ice cream, check out Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches, they're legit, 150 calories and taste great.


I would agree that it seems low but for me it is sheer experience over the last year or so once I started keeping a track of my calorie count. Not trying to loose weight or anything. And of course it is approximate, +/- 50. It just seems that above that count for a few weeks with a one cheater night or so adds pounds and makes me feel sluggish in general. If I stay around that number I feel lighter on my foot and maintain weight, generally better. I can walk 18 holes with my bag in 100 deg. heat index with no fatigue so no other issues that I know of. I am 40 now and feel like I am just generally filling out more easily (LOL!). So that's that.

I LOVE Skinny Cow sandwiches! Believe it or not I only eat half of one at a time. My kids finish the rest or it is next night.

My go-to sweetener is pure maple syrup. A little goes a long way, and takes recipes in a new direction. But mostly, I don't use sweeteners. Once you get used to them not being there, you don't miss them. Same with excess salt.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
