^
It is important to remember that there is competition going on between some 'minerals', for example zinc competes with and displaces copper at some level. A book about infertility, discusses the effect of high copper on fertility; women with high copper levels found that increased zinc intake helped normalise copper levels.

As usual it is complex and multifactoral.
