Capsaicin can dissolve in milk and alcohol.
Infact verdict: Mixed (56/100).
The claim that capsaicin can dissolve in milk is misleading. Evidence suggests that milk helps alleviate the burning sensation caused by capsaicin due to casein binding and fats dissolving it, but it does not truly dissolve capsaicin. On the other hand, capsaicin is soluble in alcohol, as supported by multiple sources, including Wikipedia and chemistry discussions. Therefore, the claim about alcohol is accurate, while the claim about milk is misleading.
