1. My Grandfather told me drinking hot coffee cooled you down.

As he was popping a cold Schlitz.

5. Ha!

2. Caveat: low humidity regions only...

Evaporative cooling only works when evaporation is rapid...

8. Chocolate is the perfect food. Cures whatever ails you.

I have personally done testing on this on a massive scale and I declare that my science is pretty clear on this.

13. It makes you sweat, which is supposed to be cooling.

14. I am in humid ottawa (a valley) so it apparently does not work so well. nt

16. Indian cooks know enough to follow hot, spicy meals with cooling yogurt and milk ...

raitas, lassis, desserts. The dairy fat helps to carry away spicy flavor chemicals in the mouth (capsaicin e.g.).

17. Will try that tonight.
