Having spent lots of time traveling in hot countries, I can confirm that eating spicy food there does actually help you cool you down. However, what they don’t tell you is that the cool-down isn’t necessarily comfortable: The reason you cool down is that the spiciness causes you to sweat. So, while you might be enjoying the food, you’ll be doing it in an unenjoyable pool of flop sweat.
