I eat 4 squares of 90% dark chocolate every single day. I love it. It reduces my stress levels, makes me feel happy. Will never give it up.
I’m from Australia:)
what is the effect of dark chocolate to a person with schizophrenia?
Never would have known about dark chocolate being better for the body.
3-11-20 Just Got M.E.= My Essence: 6 BAGS OF 92% DARK CACAO / CHOCOLATE, SERVING 3 SQUARES; Will Stay N Touch With My Progress!
The only type of chocolate that’s evil is white chocolate!!!
I love dark chocolate, makes me happy, feel good, and gives me an energy boost. Also makes me less hungry. From West Coast.
I eat 90 % of dark chocolate �� every day, I don’t know if is bad for my body, I don’t know if is good for my health can someone talk to me please
As Dark chocolate maker in Costa Rica I can comment the following:
Everything the man is saying is true, he is missing something absolutely important though… look for PURE chocolate with only cacao butter, avoid the palm oil or lecithin in excess.
There just a few pure Dark chocolate available in the world, you need to look for Dark chocs with ONLY two ingredients: Cacao and Sugar PPEERRIIOODD.
Avoid chocolate with labels that say: I might have this or it might have traces of that… that is lying of the worst kind!
Enjoy pure chocolate, you will not regret!
Thank you Dr Gus!! I eat dark chocolate everyday the bitter the better ��
Hi Dr. Gus, I do love 90% dark chocolate. However, I’m a type 2 diabetic and also have 3 blood vessels blocked by (15%, 25% and 50%). Wonder how much chocolate intake maximum per day. I use to take Lindt only. Or should I change to other brand, and what’s your recommendation. Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you and regards
William
Cocoa powder in the smoothie guys. 100% dark chocolate. Ho yeah
Just like cocaine, just a little bit isn’t to bad… totally, I’ve done it everyday for the past six years, and I’m still not addicted��
Finally! Something I’ve been doing right for myself most of my life!! A chocoholics dream!
Are you saying the normal chocolate that is full of sugar is good for you? I eat 1 piece of 92 percent cacao every night.
So how much should be consumed daily? I have found Lindt makes a 95% Cocoa Dark Chocolate bar. It has 10 squares and it’s 50 calories per square. It has very little sugar, and tastes extremely bitter. I’m currently eating a 2 square portion daily, or 100 calories. I think this is about right, anyone feel the amount should be higher? Lower?
dark chocolate and coffee mixed together!! good or bad, why?
Are you a chocolate lover?

Is Lindt 99% cocoa okay to eat as dark chocolate? Please help…. i need to look after my health please.
I haven’t eaten chocolate since 7th September and I used to be addicted. If you are watching this video to make yourself feel better for being fat, then realise what seems impossible to you right now is possible. I get cravings every now and then but apart from that it’s pretty easy. You should all give it a try.
Even high cocoa levels doesn’t necessarily guarantee it’s healthy. Look for only a few ingredients like cocoa beans, cane sugar, cocoa butter.
Every day i eat 60g of dark chocolate (95% cocoa). Better skin and im always happy. Im from Portugal (Lisbon). Thanks for the vídeo.
I make a organic cacao latte with almond or coconut milk every morning… I love it! Thanks so much!
It helps with concentration if your dopamine receptors are shot. At least that’s my experience as a programmer.
The worst type of chocolate is the really sweet/hard Easter eggs
I was never a fan of dark chocolate, but i cut out dairy so have been eating it now and again and it is really fucking nice.

Dr Gus where did you get your conventional (and non-conventional) medical training? I looked you up on the Federation of State Medical Boards website and there is no Dr Agustin Landivar in their database, not in Florida or anywhere in the US. That information does not appear to be on your FB page or on your website. While you may have a degree are you actually licensed to practice medicine in Florida?
Blah blah blah!!! JUST DO WHATS BEST FOR YOU! Don’t feel chocolates good for you?-it’s not! Think it’s good for you? IT IS!!! Geesh��
yall are noobs i have been eating 99% dark for 7 years i now 14 and to tell i never knew 99% dark chocolate has health benifits i just eat for the taste gonna be honest i love 100% cocoa
Hi doctor.Thank you for your help.
I find 70%,85% and 100% dark chocolate,and cacao nibs as well.Which of them is better?
Now I want to try not just any organic dark chocolate, but 100% organic dark chocolate!
A few years ago, I was able to finally tame my sweet tooth with dark chocolate. A few squares would satisfy me and I had no need for cookies, cake, candy, or other sweets. Now I might eat one bar of dark chocolate (70%-85%) in 2 weeks. I’m 62.
I am from the Czech Republic and eat 20-30g of > 80% chocolate every single day. I feel no effects, but I LOVE the taste and it feels great to eat it:D. I am very slim and have no health issues. Felt slightly bad about it, thinking I should eat less, but now I don’t:D.
And also it is a good source of magnesium totally bio available to our body
During the Winter time, I make me a Hot Chocolate drink, with fat free milk and Dark Chocolate, I add no sugar to it.
I heard that eating dark chocolate can also increase testosterone in men.
Only if it is above 70 % cocoa otherwise milk flavours and sugar is added ruining the benefits of it
I don’t eat dark chocolate!
BECAUSE I DON’T EAT DISGUSTING STUFF
I eat 85-92% chocolate bars everyday in the morning
But i don’t know if its too much saturated fat????
I eat a whole 3-4 oz bar everyday
Ate a 99% one, dry and bitter but very strong and fragrant…. im from singapore
Thank you, Dr.gus
I love dark chocolate, but my problem is eating more than 60g everyday. Almost 100g. But I am eating complete 100% dark with bitter taste. First I didn’t like it but now I love it. I am little bit under weight and 66 years old. I think I am healthy and energetic.
I will appreciate your advice.
Thanks for the information! People should limit taking dark chocolate and should not overindulge as it will increase diabetes problem!
Can confirm, used to think dark chocolate above 50% was nasty bitter and not fit for human consumption. Now that I’ve been on keto for a few months, 85/90% feels like sweet butter between my teeth. Love it!

i’m from Quebec, montreal canada, and i eat every day 2 squares of Lindt 90% dark chocolate! I’m so glad to know that it’s a very healthy habit!!! lol!
Everything this chick says is utter bullshit. Chocolate is an indulgence, and should always be treated as such. Dark chocolate is not good for you, and tastes like the bottom of an ashtray. Milk chocolate is delicious and horrible for your healththat’s why you only enjoy every once in a while. Everybody knows that a Hershey’s bar tastes better than a fucking Lindt 85% Kaka bar any day of the week. I’m talking to you vegan/organic/paleo/keto douchebags!
I bought 90% cocoa dark chocolate, it’s strong and not sweet, but not bad at all.
The only good chocolate is Fair Trade, because it doesn’t come at the expense of the poor and vulnerable.
I love the taste of dark chocolate that bitterness of it is my favorite.
Dark chocolate is not bad for you becasue it does not have sugar and its full of fat and antioxidant. ofcourse if you are eating too much of carbs then fat is also bad for you.
BTW dont believe scientific studies most of the times they are bullshit specially if they are done on food.
Dark chocolate is full of saturated fat and sugar..Some dark choclate more than normal chocolate. The big company’s have hyped all this up, Avoid the rubbish.
Had I known that was Laci Greene or whatever her name is, I’d never have clicked on it. Not listening to an ignorant militant femin-azi.
A cup of hot milk chocolate is WAY better than a piece of dark chocolate. Try it and see!
Yes! 90% is what I eat just one square a day. So satisfying instead of eating junk food��
I’m an Aztec I live in Aztlan also known as California, thank you for the history lesson apart from the health benefits dark chocolate offers. You keep it 100% thank you!!!
I am 21 live in CA and eat a few squares to help manage stress and menstrual pain. It also curbs my sweet tooth. Love it. I had to slowly work my way to higher cacao. I used to love milk “chocolate” and now it’s far too sweet.
Am I not the only person here who enjoys having dark chocolate with black coffee?��������

New subscriber here. I am 67 year-old with acid reflux and borderline diabetes. Is dark chocolate good for me. Please advise. Thank you.����
I put around 110 grams of 100% dark unsweetened baking chocolate bar in my keto Cake I bake every week. I sweeten the cake with Monk Fruit. Sugar and fat is not a good combo. I highly recommend checking sugar content of the dark chocolate sold in the market. Some of them have crazy amounts of sugar.
I bought 90% dark chocolate…. Wow it tastes like s### I’ll carry on suffering.
I eat organic 99% I was so happy to find 99% although it is only found in independent grocery stores. So sometimes I skip out on it for a few weeks or just go for the Lindt 95% but it does have sugar in it.
Doctor Gus, i have a question. Is dark chocolate found in ANY food store healthy?
I actually love the semisweet dark chocolate. I like the 85 to 90 % cocoa, so many consider it bitter but I consider milk chocolate too sweet.
Excellent info. I’ve been learning over the last several weeks that cocoa is essentially heart medicine when consumed correctly.
Oh Thank you Very much G.R Gus for this incredible message.love it.we have man6 cacao plants.
Thank you for the information. What is the suggested amount of cocoa powder we have to consume in a day to get the benefit?

I am Canadian of Italian ancestry and a transplant patient from a living donor, of course diabetes caused by anti-rejection drugs is well controlled and had a myocardial infarction 3 years ago, I have been eating a bit of dark chocolate but I am increasing my intake not because of your video but because I stopped all dairy products and since I was vegetarian not meat eater, not I do not even eat fish nor eggs too, so my source of food is quite reduced and I am only 147 lb. I went on a shock diet 2 years ago because of doctors on youtube and almost died because I contracted pneumosystis pneumonia due to very weakened immune system due to the crash diet. as of January 1st 2020 I am following a diet by Dr Barnard and DR mc Dougall which is starch based and plant based combined including dark chocolate, I would come back every month to report on my condition and if diabetes is gone, I am giving the diet a full year.
Milk and white chocolate are trash. If I’m eating chocolate I’m eating 85%-100% cocoa
surprised that she didn’t mention anything related to boner.:(
I was losing almost 300-400 hair per day and ended up losing almost 1/2 of my hair in few months, I tried everything which could be the cause to be fixed and despite trying everything nothing worked, I started dark chocolate 100% cocoa, one table spoon powder with coconut milk, and some times in coffee, and thankGod my hair fall stopped from day one..
Any one who has tried everything and hasn’t gotten result try dark chocolate…
I am 77 years old and I don’t smoke and/or drink however, I love my Dark Chocolate. Have been eating dark chocolate for at least 10 years after my Cardiologist determined I had a good amount of blockage but not enough to warrant a stint. For years I ate primarily 60% and progressed to over 80%. I do a Nuclear Stress Test and Cardiac workup every year with rather good results and have not needed a Cardiac Cauterization yet??? I believe my diet has been good and for the Dark Chocolate, my wife, children and their children love Dark Chocolate the best. One Grandson usually eats a square of 100% everyday.
Note: it sometimes seems to cause me constipation!
I tried 70% chocolate in the past loved it so i wonder what 95% tasted like it actually tastes like bitter soil literally soil absolute disgusting lol. Mybe peoples tastebuds can tolerate the bitterness.
I tried cacao powder its good
I eat 95% Chocolate and its difficult to swallow so I have to eat it with warm green tea. I don’t know if is okay as I heard green tea inhibits absorption of some minerals.
I eat 100 per cent dark chocolate. Too much a day but wakes you up. I know it has iron. Gives me energy. And probably all the other things you mentioned. This pure chocolate works out expensive though if you eat a lot. Trying to stick to few squares a day. I heard it can make you constipated so might be good to mix with fibre food for some. Like strawberries yum yum.
Ur an asshole chocolate is dangerous to ur health it can make ur sugar goes up or diabetis…to much sugar can kill you eating dark chocolate is one of them dark or not its still contain sugar dork..lower ur blood sugaar wtf my brother keep eating dark chocolate yes he said it improve his heart but he did not know also it contain a lot of sugar that he was diagnosed with type2 diabetis fo eating too much sugar and that is dark choclate now his using insulin injection for his diabetis
NIGHT ric oxide, not NICK ric oxide. Also, health benefits are negated if the cacao was processed with alkali, which is most commercially available cacao. You gave no sources for the best cacao.
Dear Dr Shelton the truth of health first your genes second if you been in contact with a lot of chemicals heavy industrial etc third your food habits everybody trying to make money of the food item and fourth your good or bad luck, in summary there is no justice in life, all the best and have a good day

At one point in North American history, chocolate became a currency used by the Aztecs.
I just eat 100%. I like coffee black so this is easy, nice and bitter.
I’ve been eating dark chocolate for 2 or 3 weeks and I’ve seen no difference in my memory or cognition.
I never thought I’d hear the words “chocolate has health benefits”
Can someone summarise the video for me because I don’t want to watch it all
I love 72% cacao. The end flavor tastes like espresso beans. Delicious!
Hi,
I am from india and i find the information about dark chocolates beneficial.
I myself makes chocolates using raw dark cocoa powder and mixing them with honey almonds and oil. I hope this mixture is fine fot health.
Thanks
the healthy stuff taste bad. i eat 85% dark chocolate 2 or 3 times a week. darker than that is difficult to taste. i hate it but i just eat it because i know its good for me.
Dr. I have been listening to you talking about Celery, and dark chocolate. Having Kidney disease can I eat are drink these things. I was told that no red blood cell sees in my body. I live in Jamaica WI.
Is drinking pure cocoa powder tea as good as the dark chocolate?
My breakfast is 2 large square dark chocolate plus a tablespoon raw cacao nibs with 3 grams omega 3s and 21mg astaxanthin. Works fantastic.
I use GHIRARDELLI 100% COCOA unsweetened found in the baking section and add STEVIA
I eat 70% dark chocolate EVERY day. I tried 85% but it was too bitter for me so went back to 1 ounce of 70%.
I have an extremely clean diet (vegan), do intermittent fasting, and exercise 5-7 days a week.
I believe my lifestyle in addition to the consumption of the dark chocolate is key to the improvement of my health.
I have beat diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol……and have lost around 160 pounds effortlessly. I’ve kept the weight off for 4 years now. I can live with this lifestyle as long as I can eat my dark chocolate every day! LoL. BTW, I eat organic, non gmo, soy free dark chocolate and love it!
I have 90%. I’m wondering if it could help me have darker skin.
What kind of dark chocolate could it be I mean you explained that it should not be the one from normal food store. Can I ask which one and where from it could be?
Without the stock video footage for example, the lady consuming the chocolate in slow motion when you mention consuming chocolate this video would make no sense to me at all.
I’ve got a few mental diagnosis, and one is depression. But I haven’t taken anti-depressants in about 20 years (I’m 45) because I feel like they cause more problems than they solve and don’t like feeling disconnected.
I started on dark chocolate awhile ago from hearing somewhere, not sure where, someone saying it helped with depression.
And I’m not like someone who just gets down a little sometimes. I’m not quite bi-polar, but close. Pretty severe (diagnosised, not me assuming). And I swear that from the day I’ve taken dark chocolate, it’s helped A LOT.
It’s not a magic cure, but I’d say it helps my mood swings to be about 60-70% less, in my unscientific estimation. It’s a lot and it’s obviously noticable.
I’ve experimented. Like if I buy dark chocolate mixed with other ingredients, it doesn’t seem to work, not to any level I can notice. It needs to be pure dark chocolate without other things mixed with it (like coconut or whatever some companies sell dark chocolate and other flavors with) and it needs to be a minimum of 70%. Even at 65%, it seems like it doesn’t do anything. It’s weird.
But I eat a bar of dark chocolate a day (roughly, sometimes a little less). Every day. And i know I’m not imagining it, it helps more than any anti-depressant ever did and without the weird side effects.
Weird but true. Dark chocolate has been a great medicine for me. I’m not trying to tell anyone else what to do, but God’s honest truth, it helps me.
I eat dark chocolate (85%) first thing in the morning and it gives me life.
i have tried several dark chocolates but i have found that green & blacks organic dark chocolate (85%) is buy far the best..i eat at least 1/3 bar a day…check it out..
The problem is that chocolate is a processed product, mostly made of arican cocoa beans which are worst quality with lots of chemical pesticeds, so yeah doctor dark chocolate heated and processed have almost 0 antiocidants and lots of palm oil and hidden sugar, great advice
Dr Gus you are at your best of the best. So enjoyable watching every video. Your memory consistancy is admirable.
Dark chocolate contains more caffeine, so if your sensitive (ie insomnia) go easy on the dark stuff
MUFA’s are not good for you though even though it slows the digestive process….
Doctor, Thank you very much for the info about the benefits of dark chocolate ��������
Dr gus I have gallstone detect in my ultrasound today so what is the best way to realese my gallstones.
Dark chocolate above 90% taste way to too bitter. What you can do is break them up and put them in plain Greek yogurt and it’ll lessen it. Plus you get the added benefits of probiotics
I have a motor neuron disease and have been eating approximately 1-2 ounces 85%-90% dark chocolate daily. I can’t put my finger on any specific improvements but do not see any decline either. I am certain the anti-oxidants in pure, dark chocolate have helped me maintain my function
Raw Chocolate is poison, It gives you inflammation it’s toxic for your body, only pharmaceutical companies will like you to eats chocolate to increase revenue.
I love dark chocolate…from 75% to 85%…eat it everyday..20g of it. Anything under 75% too sweet..and over 85% too bitter, at least for my taste.
im eating some and i feel good some how?? like its a health bar
I m afraid dark chocolate does not make me feel good, quite the opposite its bland bitter hard, nothing like milk chocolate which I ve been eating every day for years which I look forward to and makes me feel very happy, no side effects no diabetes, just enjoyment. If there was only dark choc left in the world I d just give it up.
my favorite dark chocolate it makes my day thanks for posting
I dont need an excuse i am under attack… and i dont eat milk chocolate…. ever… i ONLY eat dark chocolate…. and I mean ive resorted to 100% cacao….. yes i do eat it the way one eats a candy bar… im currently in overdrive
I don’t think so, chocolate is basically junk food, the more you eat any type of it, the more weight you gain and you become unhealthy, I wouldn’t reccommend it.
Thank you Dr Gus! Now there’s a lot of reason for us to eat more chocolate.. in moderation! �� LiveHealthy! ▶️
I just got a high by eating a small piece of 90% dark chocolate..tasted bitter like hell but I was laughing after 2 minutes of eating it �� weird!!
Only Point 3 is true!! Dark chocolate is still chocolate which is basically sugar and fat! The amount of vitamins is Not even worth to mention!
Zenith Labs, I always love eating dark chocolate and it makes me feel good too. I always liked a mimimum of 70% cacao all the way up to 100% cacao. If my dark chocolate is under 70% cacao, then I will not like it. I don’t like too much sugar in my pure plain solid chocolate cocoa/cacao bars and I am not a very sweet man. I am telling you all the truth. Besides eating dark chocolate with 70 to 100% cocoa/cacao, I also like eating black licorice and drinking black coffee. I am only going to be nice if I eat something that matches my taste bud or else I am going to become a mean and a bitter person which is not necessary or needed but that’s who I am.
A square? I don’t think so, I’ll eat a bar of Lindt 95% every day if I please.
Great video! We created a similar video on the health benefits of dark chocolate. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/2FWRbxSk07s

May someone suggest me some brand and % of dark chocolate to buy to get the healthy benefits? I’ve already heard before that we need to have at least 70% of cacao and more. What I’m wondering is should I care about the amount of sugar even if it’s 70% and more or to care about other substances in it?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Zenith,
I am on of dark chocolate lover and I eat everyday as you mentioned in video all facts are true however, some facts contradict as my personal experience that it can be harmful for your skin and hair access amount of dark chocolates leads to pimples and hair fall, would you elaborate on that doctor is that true?

I have a square a day of 70% cocoa dark chocolate and it’s delicious ��
I have dark chocolate in it’s most rawest form. It’s like a ball pressed together which we would grater to make chocolate tea in �������� so I guess it’s 100% dark chocolate. I shall now be scraping off a piece daily
I just started eating dark chocolate. I eat the Dark Hershey but only about 2 or 3 squares. It seems that when I eat it, I get really sleepy. I was wondering if the alkali that’s in it could be doing it. It’s good as far as blood sugar.
I would kill for dark chocolate and Brazil nuts, there is something about this combination of the two tastes that explode on the taste buds that is far to good to be good for you, everybody knows healthy food tastes disgusting lol
I use dark chocolate as replacements to cigarettes. Now I’m successful quit smoking. ����
An OUNCE? Seriously!? The supremely healthy native Indians eat it by the pound!
Powerful knowledge! Thank you for sharing! I have been incorporating dark chocolate into my diet and I feel amazing!
70% dark chocolate and black fresh ground coffee, works wonders.

i already love dark chocolate WAY more than the other types of chocolate. i’m just here to prove to my friends why dark chocolate is the best ��
I put 2 small pieces of Lindt 90% cocoa dark chocolates everyday in my organic jumbo porridge oats when I heat it up with semi skimmed milk
please tell me if i add “sugar free” sugar in 100℅ dark chocolate during melting it then it will be good for diabetics patient?
Usually I’m stressed but after eating dark chocolate I feel more relaxed and happier.
The British invented the chocolate bar (Frys 1840s)
The Swiss invented the milk chocolate bar.
I eat 90% dark chocolate every single day and I never gain weight (sometimes even lose weight) and I never get sugar cravings or cravings for unhealthy foods.♡
Milk chocolate is ok when used with NATURAL not artificial or sugar sweeteners it’s just Coco and milk and milk has calcium for teeth
Good day dr gus i’m filipina,im so.amaze how u teach us to have a good health,i’m suffering a enlargement of heart
I eat 90% Dark Chocolate cut into little pieces and put them in my big Tupperware box along with mixed nuts, so every time I grab a hand full of nuts there might be a chance I get a bit of chocolate in it. ��
90% is just perfection! Granted it takes a while to get used to, but you begin to appreciate the hints of coffee and berries. I went from loving white chocolate to loving dark chocolate within a few months. I can eat 99 and 100% however only in small doses with strong coffee…so delicious!
Hi thank you for the video. I love dark chocolate but how many squares am I allowed per day? And is it good to eat it every day or should it be less regularly than that? Thanks
cool, i just found my love for dark chocolate some weeks ago.
I drink hot cacao twice a day… It gives me pure relaxation… It can surely reduce stress level
I just ate a 90% supreme dark chocolate…holy cow i wasn’t expecting it to be that bitter..but i still like it better than milk chocolate
dark chocolate has a high amount of saturated fat..does it matter?
85% Lindt is absolutely wonderful. Just tastes like a delicious smooth espresso. Who needs high sugar milk chocolate
Just buy a big block of 200 grams bourneville plain from the confectionery aisle of the supermarket and eat 20 to 25 grams of it every day. It is bound to be healthier than consuming 50 grams of milk chocolate each day.
You don’t need to go to the health store to buy and then eat your dark chocolate.
This is fake news…dont listen to her…
yes it has many benefit but its still chocolate it has a fuking sugar that harmful to ur health like diabetis..yes it can help ur heart but its dangerous to ur health that if u consume a lot ur will be sorry if ur sugar level goes high diabetis can kill u in an instant..like it can destroy ur kidney or eyes..go blind….and ur feet can be amputated so stay away from this dark chocolate if ur type 2 diabetis or type 1….there many way that can help ur heart..like fish oil..or exercise than consuming this dark chocolate that can make ur sugar level goes high
ANY chocolate has a very high sugar content..still healthy???
I just added dark chocolate to my diet. I eat it with this really healthy popcorn and it definitely helps with my extreme cravings for unhealthy foods! I love it!!
There’s something about the cocoa enhancing the effect of sugar.
Thanks you,Doc for your advices and informations…I seldomly consuming dark chocolate,but I always drink Milo in my daily beverages.������…Does milo contained lots of dark chocolate???
I love dark chocolate.
I’m gonna go buy two bars of 90% cocoa now.
I eat 2-4 squares of 86% everyday on my oatmeal. I’ve been thinking about switching it out because I wasn’t sure of the health effects. I think I’ll continue with it now. Greetings from Norway
Watching dis vid while eating 90% cocoa dark chocolate so dat I can tolerate its bitterness
I already bought 3 box of 80% of dark chocolate but its worth it for my health
Does the brand and/or quality make a difference of the effectiveness of the consumption of dark chocolate? I buy no name brand dark chocolate and feed it to our 5 year old son who is in the Spectrum. I’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks now but haven’t seen a dramatic effect but I know dark chocolate won’t kill us. Plus I love chocolate, even if its dark chocolate. I’m a personal trainer starting my own business and plan on doing some bookkeeping studies to partner up with my wife in a bookkeeping business as well. I’ve been diagnosed with a moderate learning disability but that doesn’t stop me. My condition doesn’t stop me from learning, it just takes a bit longer than the average person. I hope this comment helps you understand who I am and where I am in life. Have a good day, take care
