Might whole wheat pancakes be unhealthy?

Whole wheat: In general whole wheat pancakes are ok but if you smother them in butter and cream and other fats and carbohydates, the pendulum swings to bad for you.

Whole wheat pancakes: Pancakes themselves are just simple sugars (even "whole wheat" pancakes are not complex carbohydrates truthfully) with liquid sugar (syrup) and fat (butter) added. So pancakes are a bad nutritional choice made worse. And we can't rescue any health value by adding things like blueberries or cranberries. If you make them with psyllium husk added, you can at least get some fiber in there.
