Why does an elderly dementia patient stop eating?
Several factors can lead to a poor diet in the elderly. Financial means are often limited; they may not be able to get out and shop for good, healthy foods, they may have teeth/mouth troubles and often the elderly have lost their sense of taste. Sweets are the last taste to go, so they often savor that the most.
