You can't get enough copper without either nuts (cashews are best) or beef liver. Potatoes also are possibly good but it highly depends on mineral content of the soil.
People who should pay extra attention to this are definitely ones eating alot of zinc (carnivores that dont eat liver)
and people eating alot of fruit (fructose creates need for more copper).
Copper deficiency causes problems with glucose metabolism and can even perfectly mimic diabetic neuropathy.
As many of you reading the literature already know, copper is essential for collagen synthesis and melanin, which is essentially hair pigmentation. People eating alot of zinc and low copper get gray hairs prematurely
