  -Almost 40% of Alzheimers patients experience significant weight loss. A study out of Boston University suggests that the weight loss is due in part to the loss of the ability to distinguish contrast between colors.
  - People with Alzheimers are not able to distinguish light colored food and drink on or in typically light colored tableware. When using tableware that offered a high contrast to the food and drink (i.e. bright red), researchers noticed that the participants in the study increased their food intake by 24% and liquid intake by 84%:
