From calling for assassinations to wacko interpretations of the Bible, Pat Robertson has reached a new low. He is selling snake oil, or at least recipes for it. His "Pat Robertson's Age-Defying Shake" is touted as giving him the strength to leg press 2000 pounds! ThinkProgress.org has the stats on how impossible that is, but besides that his own web site states that his recipe and it's benefits are a lie. The disclaimer at the bottom of the page states:
Disclaimer: Consult with your physician before starting this or any new
health regimen or supplement program, especially if you have allergies to any of
the listed or related products, or are under the care of a physician or other
medical professional, or have any other health problems. No specific health
benefit is implied or promised from this recipe. (Highlight is mine.)
I guess there is a fine line between a tent show revival and a medicine show, and the web has become the latest venue for it.
