Thanks for your work. We don't hear enough about micronutrients and you fill that gap! With respect to copper, many women are copper-replete and possibly at risk of toxicity (and zinc deficiency) from BIRTH CONTROL. The copper Intra-uterine device (IUD, which is becoming more and more popular) certainly carries this risk. Birth control pills are given to females 'from 10 to 100' for everything from scant periods to heavy periods to birth control to endometriosis to PMS . . . . They are vastly over-prescribed today IMO. I strongly believe that Zinc deficiency mediates many of the psychiatric side effects of birth control. Add to this the multitude of estrogenic plants and chemicals we are swimming in and the ubiquitous copper piping, and this is why I hear health experts such as Kelly Brogan, Marie Louise Gittleman and others stating that copper toxicity is on the rise.
