okay my question is two parts.

Its said that Green tea can sometimes cause fat to build up in the liver, why is this?

and does drinking double green tea (I.E. drinking two teabags per cup) have a stronger effect? , and can doing this cause your liver to get fatty?

I've never heard that said about Green tea...Most causes of fatty liver (non alchohol) is do to high triglycerides..I.E. high fatty diet (saturated/transfats) and high glycemic carbs. Green tea with its Catechins and ECGC's are powerful at fighting degenerative diseases and not causing them like fatty liver.....
