Milk could be a solution when eating spicy foods - literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. Capsaicin binds to a receptor in the tongue and creates a burning sensation...Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.
