Was Holy crapola: Now -- is copper bad?

[Guest guest]

Okay, let's defuse this subject and redirect at this issue:

Is coppper bad for cancer patients?

I've seen a few studies (but not a lot) saying that copper fuels

angiogenesis of cancer cells.

I've also seen several nutritional articles saying that excessive zinc

and C intake depletes copper in the body. These articles all stress

the need for supplemental copper if zinc and/or C intake is high. The

supplement I was screaming about was merely following this guideline --

x amount of copper for y amount of zinc.

However, should cancer patients cut out all zinc? Perhaps a major

reason large dose of C are good for cancer patients is exactly because

they deplete the body of copper.
