Is it alright for my 90-year-old mother to only eat sweets and put sugar on things that aren't supposed to be sweet?

Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book “Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories.” Her sites, www.mindingourelders.com and www.mindingoureldersblogs

 

Does she have a health issue? I'd make sure she has a good checkup. Maybe she craves sweets for a reason. Or, she could have dementia and not understand the food is already sweetened. At any rate, I'd think a doctor visit is in order.
