🔬 Curowhite and the Color of Curcumin 🔬

We have been getting a lot of confusion and questions on the color of Curowhite on our Facebook page, so I figured I would make a post here to address it. I am sure some people here are curious as well. To start, one of the major questions we have been getting is whether Curowhite is bleached to get rid of the color. I think many people are unaware of just how color works, which is why many people immediately jump to what they have experienced before. Many people have seen how chlorine bleach gets rid of color, so they fall back to that. I'll go through the details to clear things up.
What is color? Well color is simply our eyes interpreting the wavelengths of light being reflected back to us from an object. If an object is white, that means that the entire spectrum of visible light is being reflected back to our eyes. If we were to take out part of that spectrum before it reflected back to our eyes, we would see it as a specific color. In curcumin's case, we take out the blue hues, which means our eyes see the curcumin as orange. If we remove all wavelengths, we see black. It's all just our eyes interpreting the wavelengths of light being reflected back to us by objects.
So why…

Is it worth mentioning that [free un-complexed] ß-cyclodextrin contributes to hearing loss since it influences/reduces the cholesterol involved in the hearing process?
I recall reading this several year's ago, so promptly ceased using my cyclodextrin... I'd invested in 100g.
[edit: added clarification – "free un-complexed"]

That's free ß-cyclodextrin, which chelates cholesterol. You can see that in the studies on it. It's uncomplexed ß-cyclodextrin that is the issue, because it can readily complex with cholesterol and cause issues.
