title: Food sources of dietary copper.
abstract: Large scale surveys of nutrient intakes of human populations groups generally have not included estimations of dietary copper intakes. Because of a lack of accurate tables of copper contents of foods, until recently, this could not be accomplished. Copper intakes of Americans are thought to be lower than in the past because of a rise in popularity of consumption of highly processed foods but this conclusion may be the result of over-estimation due to less sensitive methods of copper analyses which were used in the past.
