Protein amounts according to DrKoop.com

I was browsing a website today and started reading up about proteins. According to the site, someone of my size is required to get 71 grams of protein in a day. It followed with a chart listing protein rich foods. Some examples were 6 oz. of canned tuna having 40 grams, 4 oz. of chicken breast with 35 grams, etc. To my surprise, they listed 1 oz. of cheddar cheese as having 87 grams of protein!!! I like cheese and I tolerate it well. This would be the answer to my dreams were it true but I dont see how its possible. Can anyone verify the numbers?
