From Walmart I buy Lipton Diet Green Tea for around five dollars per pack of 12 16.9 ounce plastic bottles. I’ve looked around on the internet to see about buying by the case only to discover shockingly high prices for the same item. I’ll stick will WM for now.

Got my results back. Dropped down to 182 from 232, 172 LDL to 122, on the 10 mg dosage. I spose if I started eating right and working out, it’d go too low. :-)
