Too much copper has effects on the nerves
I think that would be free copper and it's interaction with oxygen, not copper bound in food like beans. That was an old scare with a mighty supposition - a fancy application of biology and chemical knowledge in the field of nutrition. It was because of this that the importance of copper uptake was overlooked for so long.
Because free copper in the body is not normal - or even ever observed - at any stage in metabolism, however much is in the diet. Of course, a supplement (and I don't see those usually, as copper is overlooked) is another thing entirely. I guess in a month there'll be copper supplements plastered all over the tv and shops.
There's no point extracting copper from plant either and trying to make a supplement. Just eat your beans. This all goes along with magic bullets, and generally interfering, because those scientists just didn't want to get their hands dirty in the home farm. Even if copper serum levels were low, and they usually are, it would be perhaps more likely that the person was taking vit C or zinc supplements. Once you start interfering with a little snapshot and a big theory, there is no end. That is the the main sickness. IMHO
