Peanuts, Arachadonic Acid and Inflammation

A question which I have not been able to get an answer to:

Does eating peanuts, which have significant arachidonic acid (AA)
content promote inflammation?

I have read that omega-6 vegetable oils supply the body with linoleic
acid to make arachidonic acid, but does direct consumption of AA also
fuel inflammation?

Dr. Barry Sears of Zone diet fame recommends a macimum consuption of
only 3 egg yolks becuase of their high AA content, yet he recommeds
eating peanuts.

Can someone shed some light on this seeming contradiction?
If AA in peanuts is a problem, what is a reasonable intake limit?

Thanks in advance...
