About Lipo Visuals™
Seeing is Believing and Believing is Learning!
Lipo Visuals™, Sugar-Visuals, and Fiber-Visuals are creative nutrition teaching tools designed to show food in a whole new way! Lipo Visuals™ are the fat tubes, made from a durable waxy substance in clear polypropylene test tubes to visually display fat grams found in popular foods. Sugar-Visuals are the sugar tubes, made from a sugary looking material in the same streamlined clear test tubes to represent sugar in the most commonly eaten foods. Fiber-Visuals are the fiber tubes, made from a fiber like filler in the test tube to demonstrate the foods with the best sources of fiber. All of the Lipo-Visuals™ products are manufactured in identical size test tubes so they can be mixed, matched, and compared, side by side in our NEW, sleek modern clear acrylic test tube display rack . These innovative nutrition teaching aids can be used by professionals in a variety of settings from nutrition counseling, cardiac rehab, and diabetes education to the classroom, gym, the grocery store or the boardroom or they can stand alone for people of all ages to observe. Their benefits and application is only limited by the imagination!
