i need to get me some copper cutlery and plates and bowls and cups
cheaper than silver, but more durable and cheaper, and also good for preventing gut infections.

this isnt a copper cup.
its a copper plated cup with a fake hand hammered finish.
YETI will be selling them any day now.
🤔
They also often coat the copper with shellac or another coating so it won't oxidize and turn green. That ruins any benefits.
Copper? Hmmm….occupational medicine is a field. It’s just not my field. But I’m sure there’s an opinion from a specialist out there on this topic. Somewhere. In some obscure journal perhaps. From 100 years ago maybe…
they are tin with copper plate, that's right. this is a common style for coffee makers in the balkans.
they don't have to be solid copper, but the interior has to be copper. tin is ok, but not beneficial.
it's actually a turkish thing, copper plated with tin body
most people in the balkans make their coffee this way too, at least in former yugoslavia, not so much in bulgaria, they tend to use espresso machines
actually the one in the picture here is brass with copper plate. but i think that the reason for the copper plating is because the proper construction material is copper.
it's actually quite hard to find pure copper cups. copper plated is probably adequate tho.
There are copper overload medical conditions but these rarely come up. I don’t think it’s excessive intake related either.
I think less severe forms of copper overload are underappreciated. I personally did substantial testing and finally put pieces together to form a hypothesis that my easy bruising was caused by copper excess (not noted on common lab testing) causing functional vitamin C deficiency. By taking zinc supplements and vitamin C supplements along with bone broth the bruising went away. Note that while on an almost carnivore diet including organ meats I continued to have substantial bruising. So I now am biased by personal experience but with that bias I see it every once in a while in practice. I personally won't be drinking from any copper utensils.
I’ll have to look in to copper deposition disease. I see iron deposition on MRI, but copper hasn’t come up in my experience thus far.
Apparently it’ll never come up in my world. At least not on MRI. Copper is not ferromagnetic, of course…but apparently copper can be both diamagnetic and paramagnetic with very little net effect in-vivo. So little effect it’s called non-magnetic.
Looks like you don’t need a radiologist to see copper deposition. Kayser-Fleischer ring in the 👁️
Find it. Do your job dammit. Doctor now.
Definitely not part of my field…apparently MRI is not part of the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease…that is abnormal liver deposition of copper. We only see side effects like fatty liver and cirrhosis. Apparently copper can be paramagnetic and diamagnetic but the net effect is so weak it’s referred to as non magnetic. Hence invisible by mri.
So I’m probably gonna die from it. Got it. 👍
