    it's harder for some people to lose weight than for others.

Life isn't fair, and in my opinion research like this takes away from the core problem of 'You have a shit diet' because it gives an out. 'I don't have enough copper in my body to lose weight like you do.' or 'I don't have enough copper, that's why I'm fat' instead of 'I like to deal with stress by eating a block of cream cheese dipped in cane sugar every other day'

WHY someone has a shit diet is a very important question. Much more important than the copper content of their blood/various tissues.
