An Ohio State University researcher ironically found hints of a molecular compound in chili peppers that could help cool meals that may be too hot to handle.
Sometimes you bite into buffalo wings for Sunday football that are too spicy or find that Indian vindaloo curry you order at a restaurant lights your taste buds on fire a little too much. Ohio State University researcher and professor of food science and technology Devin Peterson said he is researching an "anti-spice" condiment to help solve these issues.
Peterson told WOSU spicy foods are something he's come to enjoy in his life, but he did grow up in the Midwest, where he said that was different.
"As a young boy, salt and pepper were my spice," Peterson said.
Peterson said a potential condiment could be created from the same chemicals that give peppers their spice. He said this could be especially beneficial for someone with children who complain about the heat of their food, something he's personally encountered.

Oh no
OSU can F right off. 😐
Just order or make the less spicy option. It’s not complicated.
What!? How are we supposed to prove our quickly waning masculinity now?
Yea it’s called sour cream
That’s what the blue cheese dressing is for.
Just drink some candle wax and go find your spirit coyote.
Goddamnit, the mollycoddling. Teach your kids to enjoy the heat, not run away from it.
That asshole should get himself reassigned to Texas A&M where they neutered the jalapeño.
This seems…criminal. I would like it to not be true.
It’s called yogurt.
Call the banners. This act of aggression cannot go unchecked
In the Vindaloo example, that’s your excuse for another ice cold Kingfisher or Cobra (restaurant region dependent).
Then remember to put the bog roll in the fridge.
It’s heresy I tell you! HERESY!
The one thing I could never understand as an Asian is why most, if not all of the hottest hot sauces comes from the country where the majority are unable to eat anything spicy.
So when the word condiment is used, I think of a sauce or something the consistency of salsa. Wouldn’t that be too much sauce at that point?
But then I’m from South East Asia where there’s never enough mayo, sweet cheese sauce and sweet chilli sauce on a dish. And diabetics.
Very Ohio of them
Aside from this being stupid and defeating the purpose of spicy food. This is super dangerous.
It’s the miracle berry and lemon juice/vinegar situation all over again.
wasn’t this literally a Good Mythical Morning prank
