ABSTRACT

For the last 25 years or so, a number of copper researchers have pointed to marginal copper deficiency as a possible problem in many people. However, this message has not spread extensively to most of the nutrition field, nor to the rest of the biomedical community. Although the message is supported by some research, the copper nutrition field needs a blockbuster, large-scale, broad-scope, copper supplementation intervention study to either spread the alarm or calm down the alarm sounders.
