#2Anecdotally I find the ones into protein at least have a moderate amount of physical activity. So probably not too big of a deal? I find articles using dramatic words for an article without any metrics on effect sizes the epitome of modern journalism.

#3The buried important part:
"It’s absolutely crystal clear that there are benefits of protein to muscle growth and exercise response of active individuals," study author Dudley Lamming said in a statement. "But because most people are relatively sedentary, many people are likely consuming more protein than they actually need, which probably has negative health consequences."

#4- what about people that exercise 6 days a week for 1 hour a day?

> More exercise and metabolic activity could very well mean you need more protein, not less.

A lot of protein bros are all about muscle size and not much else. It's better than being a couch potatoe but it's far from optimal

#7That's one of the reasons of Japan's longevity. Japanese were forbidden from eating animal meat for 1200 years.

#8It's very beneficial and necessary for muscle growth. Strength through your older years is also a metric for healthier aging.
I think the moral of the story here is moderate based on your activity. And don't listen to anything rfkjr has to say as a general rule.

Everyone loves to cite the "blue zone" with regards to Japan, but that zone is down near Okinawa, not mainland Japan. That region's culture did eat meat.

That's surprising, and the first I'd heard of it! Especially because a ton of people in Japan today seem to consider meat the most enjoyable food group.

Although it sounds like 1. it was only certain classes, 2. it was only part of the year, 3. it still allowed some meat (boar, deer).
As for it being the reason for their longevity... I doubt it's related? Since the ban ended 150 years ago and AFAIK the Japanese longevity is mostly statistics starting around the war I think.
