Anecdotally 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.
"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."

- what about people that exercise 6 days a week for 1 hour a day?
- 20 mins of walk/jog
- 40 mins of pushups, squats, weight training etc
> More exercise and metabolic activity could very well mean you need more protein, not less.
