Another product promoting copper in drinking water! / myLot

I'd posted a pic of bottled water that claimed to have added copper for benefit. There were quite a few responses debating the benefit or harm in the added copper. And today, I saw a picture of this water purifier posted by a dealer that states that there is added copper for immunity benefit. I think i should look at the pros and cons and also the safety of adding copper to drinking water. I'm always concerned about added metals and salts to water. What do you think?

@averygirl72 You are right, copper is poisonous, how may I be sure not to pass the safe quantity?

@LadyDuck I don't think it's a good idea. It is a metal not a mineral

I would not want to drink water with copper in it. There are food rich in copper that are good to boost our immune system. If you regularly eat fish, mushrooms, spinach, kale and beef liver you have safe copper in your body.

I guess the question is how much copper is good

@pitstop The general rule is that the mineral that are naturally in food are good. ADDED is always a risk.
