Come on, think about it. For it to be an effective *filter*, it would have to be able to extract the bad stuff and get rid of it. It's not like the dust cup on your dustbuster that just accumulates and accumulates. It moves it out of the system. There's an argument for the position that those organs could be the cleanest places--the least tolerance for the bad stuff.
That aside, cooking thoroughly covers a multitude of sins. For example, when camping, I don't bother to filter or sterilize the water for coffee. I just get a ten tin 3/4 full of water and boil it (aha!) and toss in the coffee. Why filter what I'm going to boil?
When neither of these arguments overcome your own personal ick factor, well, we're done. That's fine. More for me. :slurp:
