A few years ago I had a client with end stage Alzheimer's. She couldn't walk or talk but she could let you know when she didn't like what you were feeding her. What she didn't like was anything bland or only lightly seasoned, Mexican foods were her favorites. Her doctor conjectured that this may be because she had lost some of her ability to taste and the only things that really registered were the highly spiced foods. Many things can affect our sense of taste as we grow older and the following article explains more about it.
