Yes. A chemical called capsaicin in the peppers binds to your taste buds and feels like they are burning the hell out of your mouth. Water does nothing, really, but dillute it momentarily, and sugary juices make it worse by opening up your taste buds and allowing more capsaicin in. Milk, on the other hand, binds to capsaicin more tightly than capsaicin binds to your taste buds. When you drink the milk down, the capsaicin goes down with it.
Good Luck!
" Milk will more effectively relieve the burn on your tongue than water. The reason for this is that the burn is caused by a chemical called capsaicin in the spices. A chemical in milk, casein, disengages the capsaicin and allows it to be washed away. Water doesn't contain any casein, so it is not effective."

do not have sugary food with spicy food because sugary foods make it worse by opening up your taste buds and allowing more capsaicin in (capsaicin in the peppers binds to your taste buds and feels like they are burning)
The answer to your question is the calcium. instead of water the calcium will deter the pepper or (hot thing) and cool it down with out spreading it around like water does
HOPE THIS HELLPED
The protein Casein in milk binds and removes Capsaicin (the compound from chillies that cause the burning sensation).
Fat from milk also dissolves the capsaicin and helps to reduce the burn. Whole milk will be better for reducing the burn than fat free milk.
Lactate containing foods such as yogurt, milk and cheese are heat mitigating agents for spicy ingredients.
I understand dairy products such as whipped cream & milk will do that.
it really depends how spicy the food is, if its very spicy it will help but not very well, with less spicy foods it propably will cool your mouth quite well, if you really wanted to cool your mouth down after spicy food the best thing would be milk :P
Sugar does not cut spicy foods. However it may disguise the spice a little. Dairy cuts spicy foods better.
Vinegar (in moderation) tends to cut the heat a bit. Milk products and sugar do as well, but may change the taste or consistency of what you are making to too great a degree.
Sugar,or a cool drink. Milk usually works better than any other drink.
you're pregnant?
drink milk or eat a dairy product or anything with milk in it. It has a specific enzyme in it that helps neutralize the capsaicin in the spicy food go to this link to read more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_scale
if you are extremely weak when it comes to spicy foods, it can be.
milk and milk are the same thing!
Lay off of spicy foods for about 2 weeks after getting the piercing.
It is usually used in spicy foods, but it is not spicy itself.
