Dairy Spicy Meal Buffer
Dairy spicy meal buffer uses yogurt or cheese to bind capsaicin for some eaters—helpful for heat, though large late dairy can still trigger reflux.
Dairy spicy meal buffer uses yogurt, milk, or cheese to bind capsaicin and cool mouth-and-gut sensation for some eaters. Casein and fat carry heat away from receptors; plain yogurt at the table beats sugary drinks.
Lactose-intolerant people may use lactose-free yogurt or coconut yogurt instead. Dairy buffers heat but can still trigger reflux if portions are large or bedtime is near.
Common questions
-
