Maryland Crab Cakes

The primary difference between this version and others is that bread is used as the filler rather than bread crumbs and egg whites are beaten and folded in making a lighter crab cake. No mayonnaise is used in this recipe but the bread is soaked in olive oil. To update the recipe you could cut back to about 1/4 cup olive oil.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.
