Humans require many different elements for survival-copper, molybdenum, chromium, etc. Is there any need for tin? And, if so, what are the symptoms of tin deficiency?
I cannot find any nutritional benefit to tin in the human diet which is even generally accepted.

Does this help to start a search by any Doper nutritionists?
Of course, I have no dog in this issue.
That article is in Hungarian, and seems not to be available via even my university. When I search for other articles, I find a definite scarcity of peer-reviewed articles claiming that tin has nutritional value.
