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
