You could just look at the molecular structure of glycolaldehyde to see if there it is optically active. It isn't.

Sorry, I was distracted by the Kerry Windsurfing ad
and didn't want to was too lazy to look it up. Thanks!

Has anyone in the open lit, textbooks, etc. come up with a
model for creation of the glycoaldehyde during a star's life cycle?

Is there a pre-existing model for galactic formation
which predicts this or similar molecular species--
anywhere as interstellar gas, let alone near the center
of a galaxy?

BTW: Hey, nice effects on the font. ;-)
