Milk contains fat, and capsaicin in pepper can be dissolved in fat, so drinking milk when eating spicy food is beneficial to reduce capsaicin residue. Milk can dilute the concentration of capsaicin and indirectly reduce its irritation to the digestive tract. In addition, milk can "attach" to the digestive tract more than water, which plays a protective role in the digestive tract, but it has little effect.
In fact, relieving spicy is to remove or reduce capsaicin as much as possible to reduce its irritation to the digestive tract. If you want to satisfy your appetite, but don't want to suffer from it, in addition to controlling your intake, you can also choose to refrigerate whole milk to reduce the burning sensation in the digestive tract.
Extended data:
Foods that cannot be eaten with milk:
1, milk+chocolate
Adding chocolate to liquid milk will make calcium in milk react with oxalic acid in chocolate to produce "calcium oxalate". In this way, the originally nutritious calcium has become a substance harmful to human body, leading to calcium deficiency, diarrhea, delayed development of children, dry hair, easy fracture and increased incidence of urinary calculi.
2. Milk+orange juice or lemon juice
It seems a good idea to add orange juice or lemon juice to milk, but in fact, orange juice and lemon are fruits with high fruit acid content. When fruit acid meets protein in milk, it will denature protein, thus reducing the nutritional value of protein.
