Why doesn’t water help with Spicy food?

Denmark has banned several varieties of a popular South Korean instant noodle brand for being too spicy, advising consumers that the fiery food poses a poisoning risk.

Guest: Dr Daniel Eldridge – Senior Lecturer in Chemistry, Swinburne University of Technology

Presenter: Warren Andrew
