I was surprised to read about this. The article states that dietary changes might also come in the later stages of Alzheimer's.
"According to Dr. Elana Clar, MD, a neurologist at New Jersey Brain & Spine, one early sign of Alzheimer’s disease that many people aren’t aware of is a change in dietary preferences. “A vegetarian may start eating steak simply because they forgot they had a certain dietary habit, or may start incorporating more salt and spice because their taste buds are diminished,” she says, giving a couple of examples of what this can look like."
Dr Char also explains why taste buds can be affected and gives more examples of why these changes might happen to those with Alzheimer 's. https://parade.com/health/dietary-change-early-sign-alzheimers
