(+27...7) asks why does milk help when you ate something hot🌶?
It's all about chemistry🔬! Capsaicin is a compound contained in chilies that attaches to your receptors and causes pain.
Milk🥛, on the other hand, contains the compound casein that binds with capsaicin and helps wash it away.
Water 💦 doesn't quite do the trick since it doesn't contain casein.
