The masochistic/thrill-seeking hypothesis: According to one popular suggestion, it is the endorphin hit, much like run ..read more

Chileheads have long debated the best way to cool your mouth down after eating spicy food. It has become widely understood that water is not the best way to go, as it may help in the moment but ends up just spreading the spicy around. Milk tends to be the prefered solution, and people often argue this is because of the fat content of milk. Well, according to new research, this is only part of the story.
