1. Nuts: If you have Wilson's disease, they must be avoided. 100 grams of mixed nuts have 1.9 mg of copper.

2. Shellfish: like crabs, lobster, squids, etc., have a high content of copper. 100 grams of cooked lobster has nearly 2 grams of copper.

3. Red Meat: like mutton, pork or beef is also not a good option for those who have Wilson's disease. About 30 grams of cooked beef has about 4 mg of copper!

4. Mushrooms: 100 grams of mushrooms contain 0.4-0.5 mg of copper; and hence for one having the disease, it is always better to reduce the mushroom intake.

5. Cocoa and Chocolate: Not advised for people who have Wilson's disease. Just 85 grams of chocolate has about 0.75 mg of copper, which is 80 per cent of the daily recommended dose.
