[I want the USA back]

Another “breakthrough” discovery that will “revolutionize” modern medicine?

So when I stuck that real-copper penny in my mouth as a kid it really was for my health?!

I was way ahead of the curve...!

If true why are there fat plumbers?

Copper is also easy to overdose on.

I am not saying don't take it.

I am just saying be careful when taking it.

It is not like overdosing on magnesium where you just spend a few hours in the smallest room in the house.

How about just quit eating at MacDonald’s, Burger King and other Frankenfood franchises?

Last I heard, copper cookware was being blamed for copper toxicity and you shouldn’t use it. Now it’s ok? Beneficial?

[BitWielder1]

Copper, like all other heavy metals are toxic so sucking on a penny won't help.
You need to get it in some nutrient form that is actually good for you.
Only what your body needs and no more. Twice as much is NOT twice as good.

Sigh...just one more thing to throw in the NutraBullet for my morning smoothie.

Gonna be noisy.

But I had a snack before bed last night so I probably lost enough brain cells that I don’t understand how this could possibly work. I’ll check the next issue of Weekly World News.

[Revelation 911]

hmmm im pretty sure that I got fat from the pizza and pasta I so enjoyed.....not a copper deficiency

Sorry, A little off topic but: Last night my wife was going to make some brownies. After she started mixing, she realized she was out of (vegetable)cooking oil. But we did have a good supply of Corto EVO olive oil. She said, “I’ll just use that instead.” I said, “I look it up on the web.” The comments I read ranged from “don’t use olive oil for baking, the high temperatures make it poisonous” to “we found it makes the best tasting brownies evah”. So she made them with EVO. I had one for breakfast on the way out the door to work this morning. I couldn’t taste any difference, AND, I didn’t die. The moral of the story: Don’t believe everything you read :-)

This is a "study", which means it is significant but not confirmed, and forms the basis for controlled, scientific research. Copper is important, veterinarians already know this, but it should not be taken alone. The key to good health is proper nutritional balance. Minerals like copper need to be in the right form (chelated) and in the right amount in relation to all the other minerals and vitamins.

All things I can’t eat. ‘The nutrient is plentiful in foods such as oysters and other shellfish, leafy greens, mushrooms, seeds, nuts and beans.’ Mine comes from a pill just like my Calcium.
