Hmmm... I'm confused by that statement. It can't be 20 g across the board. Bigger, taller people would need more than shorter, petite people. Someone who weight trains and has a lot of muscle mass would need more protein, also. It is true that excess protein can be converted to glucose, but that metabolic pathway works very slowly. As Nat pointed out, it would be practically impossible to eat that much protein in one sitting.
Also, is there any published evidence that more than a certain amount of protein harms the body? "Taxing" is different from "harming." Cardiovascular exercise "taxes" your heart, but only those who have cardiac damage need to avoid it.
