Is it me, or does the reference don't even match the article? Number 4* state:

  Longevity and health were optimized when protein was replaced with carbohydrate 
  to limit compensatory feeding for protein and suppress protein intake.
Overall, the science behind the claims seem weak, there are no clinical studies on human for example.

It doesn't really contradict the article, which isn't really saying that eating protein is healthy, but that people scarf up carbohydrates trying to find protein - but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article.
