Please help me!  I work in a nursing home and I have battling the 
administration re: how thick liquids should be when people are on nectar and 
honey.  I believe the nursing home is overthickening resident's liquids in 
return causing resident's not wanting to drink.  Please provide a 
explanation re: how thick liquids really should be.  I would value anyone's 
opinion on this matter.  Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing 
from you.

Thank you,
Valerie--Kalamazoo, MI
