Man vs Food UPDATE

The bastardo cheated just as I suspected! Here is the proof:

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.

So when he drank the milk he was wiping the taste buds clean and starting afresh. Shame on you Adam, I now like Tony Bourdain better!
