Dementia is known to be a causative of developing new and strange eating habits, contrasting the ones the person had before. There may be a case of having a sweet tooth or desire for spicy foods, or strange habits of eating even spoiled food. Also, many Alzheimer’s patients experience a reduced appetite and desire for food, so they often skip meals and forget to eat and drink. On the contrary, other patients forget that they ate and eat a certain meal couple of times. Besides that, a person can also lose the capability to tell if a food or drink is overly hot to consume.
