Crown ethers are dead stable but toxic. (They're also not found in nature.) I worked with'em in grad school. I think that maltol is one of the key aroma/flavor agents in fresh bread - it's an alpha pyrone I think. I know I pee maltol after porking out on Wheaties.

After fighting overweight, and losing, for years, I had a physician diagnose me with insulin resistance, says I've probably had it since puberty. In women it messes up the testosterone level, as well as causing overweight, so that's probably why I am high-T, big muscles, big bones, very aggressive. He told me last year to give up all sugar and all refined carbohydrates and potatoes and rice, but I just got motivated recently. Anyway, it's working. Now I have to give up booze, too, which I hate to do, I like to have a few drinks at bedtime to relax. It's probably just a genetic thing, like the Pima Indians. They can't eat a white man's diet, it gives them diabetes. 50% of Pima Indians that eat a white man's diet get diabetes, and they are all overweight. Which is why you have to figure out what works for you. If I rode 100+ miles a day on a bike, and was still overweight, I'd try cutting out those carbs just to see what happens. Since you have family from Louisiana, you may have a similar metabolism. All I am eating is eggs, cheese, fish, salad, and low carb vegetables, and I am not at all hungry.
