Gata

GATA (Global Agriculture Trading Agency) refers to a classification system used in nutrition and dietetics to categorize foods based on their glycemic response. It helps identify how quickly and how much a food raises blood sugar levels after consumption. GATA values assist healthcare providers and individuals in managing blood sugar, especially for diabetes care, by choosing foods that produce a desired glycemic effect. It’s part of broader efforts to understand and regulate how different foods impact metabolic health, providing a scientific basis for dietary choices aimed at maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
