I just read that one of the biggest causes of fatty liver has nothing to do with alcohol, fat, or sugar, and is essentially a symptom of choline deficiency. Not sure if anybody here is worried about fatty liver or gallbladder disease, though I am somewhat. The reason why more people are looking into this is because of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, since most people believe that you have to be some kind of raging drunk to get fatty liver.
Here's a post on the Daily Lipid on the subject.

The short version is, eat eggs, organ meats, and shellfish.

Choline is King!
I have to conclude from all these studies that choline deficiency plays a role in virtually every type of diet-induced fatty liver model. The fat has to be provided to the liver through either dietary fat or dietary lipogenic substrates like ethanol and fructose, and the fat has to be trapped by impaired export of fats from the liver. And choline deficiency seems to be the preeminent cause of this.
So does fructose cause fatty liver? Kind of. I'm not suggesting fructose is harmless or that you should go out an eat a bowl of fruit loops with your liver and eggs, but the loss of cholesterol-rich foods like egg yolks and organ meats as a result of cholesterol paranoia seems to be at the bottom NAFLD thus far.
There's just one question. Leptin deficiency and leptin resistance both cause fatty liver. And obese people are leptin resistant and the majority of obese people have fatty liver. Can fatty liver or choline deficiency cause leptin resistance? Or does leptin resistance cause cravings for choline-poor, fatty, and fructose-rich foods? Here's a web I'll try to untangle in future posts!
