Interesting Study On Copper Absorption

Interesting read. Calcium with copper rich foods; vitamin C away from them.

I think high copper foods also tend to have iron, whose absorption is increased by vitamin C, so there's another reason to avoid vitamin C with those foods.

On that note, I always wonder: if I take coffee when eating say meat in order to reduce iron absorption, don't I also reduce absorption of good things like copper too?

At least, the study above seems to show that if I drink calcium too, copper won't be reduced.

I'm pretty sure RP has thought about all that when recommending accompanying with coffee an/or milk, but I haven't seen a written confirmation anywhere.

I have wondered that too.

A google search brought back a couple results on caffeine inhibiting copper. I'm gonna recommend squid though. Lots of copper, and practically no iron. No need for caffeine with it.

Copper is high in goat cheese.

Copper is high in goat cheese.

How much copper pipes to hit the cheese RDA?

I don't know but I think you would likely die from an OD before reaching the RDA .

Anything else? Other than squid?
