Research:
How are chili spicy? Did you know that chili aren't actually spicy. One of it's ingredient inside of it makes your brain think that it's actually spicy. The ingredient is called capsaicin, capsaicin comes in contacts with your pain receptor in your mouth. These pain receptors sense heat and these capsaicin can activate these pain receptors which sends pain to your brain.
How does milk stop the spiciness the most? The milk has a ingredient inside of it which wash away the capsaicin out of your mouth. This ingriedent is called casein. It's like soap washing off grease out of your hand.
