More magnesium, less copper for better health

According to a recent study in the journal Epidemiology, of more than 4,000 men aged 30-60, those with the highest blood level of magnesium were associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality, death from cancer, and cardiovascular disease by 40, 50, and 40 perecent, respectively.

Conversely, high levels of copper associated with older age, high cholesterol, and smoking, was linked to increased risk of these diseases.

Steve - another glowing review from our long-standing favorite nutrient, magnesium!!
