Post Arachidonic acid

is found in all animal foods. Eggs too.

It is essential for developing children and is added to commercial formulas
now. In concentrated amounts (which you cannot find in food) it is harmful.

The body makes AA also, from omega-6's and this is a very big source of AA,
and can be controlled by diet. (this pathway is not well developed in infants)
There is a flow chart here:

Fish even have AA in them, however in small amounts.

This is a very interesting paper... http://www.jci.org/cgi/content/full/107/11/1339
and it states that build up of AA during NSAID use may actually explain the anti-cancer properties of NSAIDs!
