Mar 5, 2015 at 0:46 comment added Esoteric Screen Name This does answer the question, though it could be clearer. It seems to say "not rinsing is not unhealthy because the soap will slide off, so you won't eat it". I don't know if that's correct, but it's definitely an answer. I think an edit and a citation for the conclusion would make this a sterling answer.

Mar 4, 2015 at 14:59 comment added Wouter It's indeed not a direct answer to the question, or the formulation of both the question and answer could be improved upon, but i consider this enough information for it to be -somewhat- of an answer. If anyone feels like pushing this question further, a separate question about the toxicity of common dish-washing-detergents could be asked, as MentalMonarch pointed out.
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:37 comment added MentalMonarch to insert my opinion of "how small an amount do i consider none" would be considered "unverifiable data" Asking me to provide that goes against the rules. Changing the title of the post still leaves the question too vague to answer any other way. Without knowing which soap is used or which ingredients, it cannot get more specific. There are many nontoxic organic soaps that you can eat. Shall i pick one of those to reference? If I do, my answer will be deleted.
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:26 comment added Dan Getz Of course the original question did not ask what you mean, because you hadn't written your answer yet.
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:24 comment added MentalMonarch those questions weren't asked. the last time i tried to be thorough by anwering my own follow questions that I made for my own clarification, i was told my answer was too long an rather off topic, and it was deleted. after I spent 3 freakin hours putting thought and consideration into all aspects of it. Quite the double standard, don't you think? How much water is too much to drink before you die? what about the chemicals absorbed through your skin from being immersed in the toxic hazardous soap water?
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:18 comment added Dan Getz Replace "I wonder if it is" with "Is it", and it's a more straightforward question. How small an amount do you consider to be "none"? Does being a surfacant mean that soap will evaporate along with the water?
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:13 comment added MentalMonarch "I wonder" is a valid question, but explaining the science for saponifacation isn't? "Soap is a surfacant(reference linked) and attaches to water" if there is no water on the plate, then there is no soap either. No soap = healthy. This is junior high science. The question is asked to justify an "ew" factor.
Mar 4, 2015 at 14:07 comment added Dan Getz This is not an answer to the question, which was "I wonder if it is unhealthy to leave the suds on, and as a result, ingest minor traces of soap when drinking/eating. What does scientific research say?" If you are saying that minor traces of soap will not remain, that's an exceptional claim that needs an actual reference.
