Is there a mirror? nature.com has a cookies popup with only the “accept all” option.

I'm used to seeing a small and hard to see Manage Preferences link in that banner that provides a button to reject optional cookies, but we might see different things based on region

So I've been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).

The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.
