Should I just give him whatever he wants?
My husband is in the middle stages of dementia and only wants to eat sugary junk.
At this point does it matter what I give him?

Good question…..
My MIL loves pastries, cookies, coffee with tons of sugar. Idk the correct answer, but I’ve switched sugar to maple syrup as the maple syrup is sweet and is healthier. Look up maple syrup and the brain and Alzheimers. I actually reward my MIL with cookies and pastries if she eats what I ask her to eat.
Possibly make things like salmon with a sweet sauce, chili with maple syrup to sweeten, pork chops with beans and maple syrup to sweeten. Possibly look up recipes that have a sweet sauce. Just a few ideas.
