A beneficial nutrient in trace amounts, copper has a very narrow range of safety. Exposure to this heavy metal is cumulative, and it accumulates in brain tissue, causing schizophrenia and mental insanity.
High copper exposure can be defended against, in part, with zinc supplementation. Once copper is removed from the diet, moods and cognitive function often return to a normal range.
Vegetarians and vegans tend to have very high copper toxicity because they usually lack zinc in their diets. This partially explains why mental insanity and erratic behavior is surprisingly common among some vegans.

After years of suppression, scientists finally admit copper destroys norovirus (and so does silver)
(NaturalNews) Simulating contamination via touch, researchers found that norovirus could not survive on any dry surface containing more than 60% copper. The findings do not apply solely to norovirus either but to a range of various fungi and bacteria. |

Do you consume too much copper? Copper from diet linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease
(NaturalNews) Research scientists from the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York have published the results of a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal that provides evidence to explain how a common metal we are all exposed to may help to promote development and progression of the illness. |

Zinc protects brain cells from effects of copper toxicity
(NaturalNews) The naturally occurring metal copper plays an essential role for certain functions of the body; however, underutilized copper can accumulate in the soft tissues of the body and actually be toxic. |
