I was just looking at the bone studies and found that some copper is
necessary for normal bone mineralization, along with Zn, Mo, Mn.
So of course there is much interaction with trace minerals and bone
formation.
There is also the people who can't have any iron, same deal. Have to
cook with glass.

Google "Copper toxicity" and read the sci papers having to do with
antagonistic trace minerals and how metallo transport proteins work to
regulate trace mineral levels.
Selenium plays a key role, but not the only role.
If they are out of balance, you can jump into a swimming pool that
used a copper product to control algae and get into real trouble by
skin absorption. Got a blue or green stain in your sink? Trouble.
Very rare, but those with malfunctioning regulation *systems* have a
really hard time avoiding copper, and ANY form from any direction is
trouble.
Copper is 29th in abundance [Aluminum is 3rd]

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
