Conclusion 

Milk could a solution when eating spicy foods - Literally. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compounded in chilli peppers. Capsaican 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.
