> Not literally. There are numerous interactions, such as zinc excess blocking copper uptake, but IMHO, you've got to really be manipulating total intake levels to get to an imablance. (BTW, it is my studied opinion that copper plumbing is such a huge source of copper intake that copper excess is more likely to be a problem than is copper deficiency, no matter what your zinc intake might be.)Re the copper/zinc, since women are more prone to excess copper related depression (or so I understand), then can taking zinc counteract that possibility? I figure it get plenty of copper from my tap water. (I noticed your previous posts on this.)
