– why does milk help heartburn if fatty acids are acidic

Question

whole milk has a high fat content, which is hydrolysed into fatty acids and monoglycerides. fatty acids would increase the pH of stomach acid, worsening acid reflux – so why is milk often recommended to treat heartburn? is this a myth?

If changing PH was all that mattered then drinking lots of water would be sufficient.

I prefer apple cider vinegar. Yes it works.
