Does the milk cool it?

Milk can relieve heat. First, milk contains a protein called casein, which is hydrophilic and can effectively neutralize the hot ingredients in the mouth. Hot ingredients are usually irritating substances such as capsaicin, which can stimulate nerve endings in the mouth and tongue, causing burning and pain. Casein can bind to these spicy ingredients to form compounds that reduce their irritation to the mouth. Second, the fat in milk can also help relieve the spicy taste. The fat can form a protective film in the mouth, reducing the direct contact of spicy ingredients with the mouth, thus reducing burning and pain. In addition, milk also has a certain lubricating effect, which can help relieve dryness and discomfort in the mouth and throat. When eating spicy food, the mouth and throat tend to become dry and painful due to spicy stimulation, and drinking milk can moisturize these parts and relieve discomfort. It is important to note that the effect of milk on spiciness is not absolute, and may vary from person to person. Some people may be allergic or intolerant to certain ingredients in milk, and may experience discomfort after drinking milk. In addition, if the spiciness is very strong, milk may not completely eliminate the spiciness, but it can still play a certain role.
