Can soymilk ease spicy food?

[Primper]

I mean like, ugh. I'm eating these bigass Flamin' Hot Cheetos and I want to know if soymilk does the same thing as regular milk.
Then again if it doesn't, I'm vegetarian not vegan so idfc.

+ Does soymilk give you acne too? O:

Spicy things are spicy because a chemical called capsaicin binds to receptors on your tongue, triggering neurons that say 'Damn that's spicy!' to fire a message to your brain.

Because capsaicin is fat soluble, which means it binds to fat molecules, any food/beverage that is high in fat will block the capsaicin from binding to your tongue receptors. So in short, because soy milk does have some fat in it, it will help some, about as much as skim cow milk.

Water, on the other hand, does not bind to capsaicin, and so will only swish it around, and make the burning sensation worse.

Some nut milks are higher in fat than soy, so may help more, but that would warrant some investigation on your part if the ultimate spice neutralizer is what you seek.
