While copper may be essential for a healthy body, cooking on copper with acidic substances may be harmful. Cirrhosis, which greatly damages the liver, in children has been been linked to boiling milk in copper cookware. Large quantities of the copper salts produced by the acidic reaction with copper cookware is toxic to the human in general. But while copper is bad it also is a very reliable cookware and if used properly can be better for you.

Yes, copper is generally safe to cook with as long as it is lined with another material, such as stainless steel or tin, to prevent copper from leaching into food.
