RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Look at this pic. Are you one of the millions who bought & are currently eating Girl Scout Cookies? Do you also wash them down with cow or soy milk? Both of those milks & all Girl Scout cookies are made with GMO ingredients (Genetically Modified Organisms).

GMO's are why we see increased cases of diseases like cancer especially in young people. GMO's are responsible for the increase in reproductive problems & birth defects. GMO's also cause the increase food allergies, digestive system problems, body toxicity, and so on & so on. Until the Girl Scouts start offering non-GMO treats, STOP BUYING THEIR COOKIES. STOP eating them & feeding them to your family/children/friends. Instead support the Girl Scouts by buying/renewing magazine subscriptions through them or just by making a donation. Get informed, research GMO's, they are the slow death of our nation.

Avoid cow's milk because as the picture shows it's loaded with antibiotics & hormones.

Avoid everything soy because it raises estrogen levels in the body which increases chances of getting cancer at an earlier age. See this Huff Post article on all of the negative health effects of soy: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/dr-mercola/soy-health_b_1822466.html

As a healthier substitute for cow's & soy milk, drink organic & unsweetened almond milk. You can find them at most grocery stores, but definitely at Trader Joe's & Whole Foods. Great taste, and just as much vitamins, minerals, and calcium as cow's milk.
