Can minerals be toxic?

0

Yes, there are certain elements that have no known benefits to humans, and are considered toxic. Examples would include but are not limited to lead, mercury, and arsenic. Even too high a level of beneficial nutrient minerals can be a problem. For example, in normal quantities, zinc is essential; in quantities too high, it can cause anemia, and deplete copper.
