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.

Same thing has been claimed about a lot of supplements -- the reason these are never borne out is, the 'data' is anecdotal (like, the secret is chromium) and based on the results from an initial period of dieting, when at least 1/3 of weight loss occurs. We're built to hang on to weight, it's not aboutt our survival, it's about the survival of our ancestors. Thanks BenLurkin.

The classic recipe for Swiss cheese has the curds cooked in copper vats. I make fruit jam in copper pots—with lots of lemon juice. These are classic recipes from over three hundred years of recorded cookbooks. Like so much science, it is contradictory and politicized.

Where do you get your copper pans? See my post above. I assume you are a foodie?

No wonder Spock was slender.

Yes. His hemoglobin was based on copper. Not iron.

"If true why are there fat plumbers? ;-)"

Because they don't install copper pipes anymore. They install plastic pipes.

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.

True in many places but here in Nevada copper is still required in most jurisdictions for potable water.

Most copper cookware is steel with copper cladding on the outside for heat conduction. That, and it looks good.

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.

My first thought was the researchers had stock in those new as-seen-on-tv non-stick copper pans.

Then I’m moving to Nevada.
Water from plastic pipes tastes different.
