I found this rather amusing. It made me wonder if he uses Pastor Russell's Miracle Wheat for his Pancakes.

Pat Robertson redeems pancakes from sugary sins
VIRGINIA BEACH -- Condemning the evils of ``syrup-drenched hotcakes,'' television evangelist Pat Robertson is pitching his own ``Age-Defying Protein Pancake'' to the millions who watch him daily on ``The 700 Club.''
The preacher's pancake ``fights disease, protects your heart and tastes great!'' according to the Internet site of the Christian Broadcasting Network, which Robertson founded and heads.
Robertson, 72, cooked up a stack of the pancakes during ``The 700 Club'' broadcast Wednesday. Within 48 hours, 38,000 people had called for the recipe or had downloaded it off the Web site.
The high-protein flapjacks are credited by Robertson with helping to protect against breast, uterine and prostate cancer, and with fighting the buildup of plaque in blood vessels.
Robertson said Friday that he devised the recipe himself.
``My mother taught me to cook when I was a little boy, and I've been relatively good at it,'' he said.
The griddle cake is the third nutritional promotion by Robertson, who also extols ``Pat's Age-Defying Shake'' and ``Pat's Age-Defying Antioxidants.''
None of the promotions sells a product. Instead, Robertson provides recipes with ingredients, such as soy flour and plain yogurt, that are available in health-food stores and supermarkets. He also identifies specific vitamins and minerals that help protect against disease.
Blending shakes and pushing pancakes wouldn't seem to fit Robertson's profile as a multimillionaire businessman, a former presidential candidate and founder of Regent University in Virginia Beach.
But he said he began studying the connection between nutrition, aging and health when he turned 60 and noticed his own diminishing muscle tone and mass. He gradually devised a personal health regimen involving diet and exercise -- he said Friday that he bench-presses up to 235 pounds -- and has promoted those habits for several years.
Viewers apparently take his advice to heart. According to CBN, there have been 575,000 requests for and downloads of Robertson's epistle on antioxidants since it became available in October 2001, and nearly a half-million inquiries about the shake recipe since it was unveiled in August of that year.
But flapjacks? Why target this breakfast staple when a legion of soft drinks, snacks and fast foods bear far more dietary culpability?
``I'm not attacking pancakes,'' Robertson said. Rather, he rejects as unhealthy all breakfasts, including most baked goods and manufactured cereals, that are too sweet and low in protein.
``I am just an absolute fanatic against white flour in any form,'' he said. ``The second thing is sugar. Sugar is an absolute killer.''
Robertson chuckled when asked whether ``age-defying'' was an extraordinary claim for his recipes.
``We obviously continue to age,'' he acknowledged, adding, ``You don't have to wear out at 60.''
