Traditionally in China food is perceived to be divided into three groups: cold, hot and neutral. These groups are not defined by physical temperature but by the effect the food has on the human body. I believe milk is considered to be a cold food because it cools the body. Yogurt, being primarily milk, would have a similar effect. Even if you heat up the milk, it still would have a cool effect on the body. |

Hi! I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough about that term. What I mean is literally that I feel cold when drinking milk. So do other people. Once in a while you even get the goose bums. And that doesn't happen when drinking cold water for instance. So my guess is that there's something in milk that creates an endothermal reaction while vodka would create an exothermal reaction. |

Alcohol actually <i>lowers</i> body temperature, but creates a feeling of warmth. That is one reason the homeless who drink alcohol can die of hypothermia. |
