OK it depends. A better analogy then is why we wash out fruits and veggies (you do don't you? :biggrin To cleans the corruption of of it. We are removing the impurities (ie E.coli) and leaving the rest (your food).

Ever had a loaf off bread with mold on one corner? Cut off the Corner with a good amount of extra and eat the rest. I know many who do this.

That is what I meant. I need to be careful. As ALL analogies break down eventually.

The root question :How Much Leaven?

We should strive for NONE ultimately. Yes?
