to before the ACS released its report.

Le Marchand understands that some may be reluctant to change their eating habits.

Instead of giving up on meat, Le Marchand recommends that both processed and red meats should be part of a well-balanced diet that also includes fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates.

While the WHO has not made any official recommendations, Le Marchand suggested limiting the consumption of red and processed meats to 18 ounces, or two or three servings, per week.

How meats could be causing cancer But a cancer researcher says OK to eat two, three servings weekly

MEAT OF THE FINDINGS

REESE KATO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

A healthy weight and getting exercise can help lower chances of cancer.

Though the World Health Organization (WHO) has grouped together and labelled bacon and tobacco smoking as “carcinogenic to humans,” a researcher at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center (UHCC) who contributed to WHO’s international review said meats can still have a place at the table.

“The increased risk associated with processed and red meat is certainly not the same level as smoking,” said Loic Le Marchand, a UHCC professor, in a phone interview. “There’s an increased risk, but that’s also true for being out in the sun or drinking alcohol.”

The Global Burden of Disease Project found that about 34,000

cancer deaths per year worldwide can be attributed to diets high in processed meats, such as SPAM, bacon and sausages. If further studies could prove that red meat consumption causes cancer, the project estimates that about 50,000 cancer deaths per year worldwide can be attributed to diets high in red meats, such as beef and pork.

In comparison, tobacco smoking causes about one million cancer deaths per year worldwide, according to the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Additionally, the risk for cancers in the colon and rectum increased by 17 percent for every 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces) of red meat eaten daily and 18 percent for every 50 grams (about 1.75 ounces) of processed meat eaten daily, according

to an analysis of 10 cohort studies used in the WHO’s review.

BALANCING ACT

In 2002, the American Cancer Society (ACS) released its own set of guidelines suggesting consumers cut back on processed and red meats.

However, the NPD Group, a market research company, found no significant difference in the consumption of processed or red meats after the ACS adopted its guidelines on meat consumption, with a higher consumption of processed meats in 2014 compared to 2002.

The NPD Group also found that consumers’ intentions regarding the consumption of processed and red meats did not change following the release of ACS’ guidelines compared

Examining more than 800 different studies on cancer in humans, the WHO’s review classified processed meats, which have undergone processes such as curing, smoking and fermentation to enhance flavor or improve preservation, as being “carcinogenic to humans.” Scientists found sufficient evidence that the meats cause cancers to form in the colon and rectum in 12 of 18 cohort studies and six of nine case-control studies.

Regarding red meats, the WHO review classified the red meats as being “probably carcinogenic to humans” because a cause-effect relationship could not be established. Seven of 15 case-control studies showed a similar trend between high consumption of red meats and cancers forming in the colon and rectum.

While scientists concluded that the influence of chance, bias and other factors was unlikely in the reviewed studies regarding the pro-

cessed meats, these factors could not be ruled out.

GOING FORWARD

Le Marchand plans to study cancer-causing compounds that form during high-temperature cooking.

“It’s exciting to see that we have had some success and we have some need for other factors that could be modified to decrease cancer,” Le Marchand said.

A mission for safer waters UH researchers continue to research shark behavior NICOLE TAM STAFF WRITER

Shark attack incidents have increased statewide — from six in 2014 to eight in 2015 — and the campus Marine Biology [HIMB] Department has ongoing research on shark behavior and habitat.

Tiger sharks are primarily involved with recorded attacks. Kim Holland, a researcher at the HIMB, latest research project focuses on tracking movements of Tiger sharks around Maui. Satellite transmitters are attached onto their dorsal fins to track and monitor movements funded by the state Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR).

“The Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology shark research group conducts a variety of research projects concerning shark biology and behavior,” Holland said in an email.

Through the nine projects compiled by Holland and his team, these projects study topics such as shark movement, travel patterns, habitat and ecotourism.

In October, there were four shark attacks on O‘ahu and one shark sighting on Kaua‘i.

Since 1980, recorded shark attacks in Hawai‘i were the highest during October and November, according to DLNR. Carl Meyer, a member of the UH Mānoa shark research team, said there are natural cycles in shark biology that explain the seasonal changes in shark bite statistics.

Typically, he said there are typically more bites for tiger sharks during the fall in Hawai‘i.

RAPID ATTACKS

Sharks usually take bites of objects they identify as prey as a defense mechanism, according to Jason Turner, an assistant professor for the UH Hilo Department of Marine Science. Humans are often misinterpreted by sharks as sea turtles or seals. Sharks wound their prey with a bite to make the feeding process easier.

SAFETY TIPS To prevent future attacks, Turner advises swimmers and surfers to: 1 Stay alert; larger sharks prefer to travel through cloudy waters or areas with potential prey.

2 Take a partner when participating in water activities. Two is better than one in the case of an incident.

3 You are in a shark territory, the ocean is their home. Ocean surfaces are often used as a barrier for sharks to keep their prey from escaping.

4 If in doubt, stay out of the water.

COFFEE CORPORATIONS HEAD to HEAD THE NICEST DRUG DEALERS IN TOWN KEVIN ALLEN STAFF WRITER

WHAT LIES BEHIND COFFEE CORPORATIONS

employees can attend Arizona State University online while getting their tuition reimbursed.

(DISCLOSURE: KEVIN IS A STARBUCKS EMPLOYEE) UNEXPECTED BENEFICIARIES

Coffee has been a staple in American culture since the Sons of Liberty threw tea off a boat. Since then it has become an integral part of our daily lives.

Mega-chains like McCafé and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf allow the masses to get their daily cup with ease. Big businesses like these have also made positive changes in both the coffee industry and the in the lives of the people involved in it.

Before large-chain coffee houses innovated how we drink coffee, it was just a dark liquid you drank to get through the day and stay awake during the night. Now it’s chugging an Americano, sipping a pumpkin spice latte, savoring a cappuccino and it’s the cool thing to do. Coffee shops like Starbucks have popularized specialty coffee, with daily consumption rising 25 percent from 1999 to 2014, according to the National Coffee Association Annual Drinking Trends Study.

COFFEE PEOPLE

By turning coffee into a luxury product through innovation and delivery, coffee corporations get to sell it at premium prices. This helps the coffee industry grow, which will provide consumers with more outlets to enjoy our favorite drink. According to a study by the Harvard Business Review, in 1988, only three percent of coffee sold in the United States was priced at a premium.

In 1997, that number was 40 percent.

Coffee house goliaths don’t just help the coffee industry, but also deliver expansive benefits to its employees. For example, Peet’s Coffee and Tea gives those who work at least 21 hours a week eligibility to receive medical, dental, vision packages, life insurance benefits and a 401(k) retirements savings plan. Starbucks has a College Achievement Plan where both full and part-time

The existence of major coffeehouses surprisingly benefit mom-and-pop coffee shops. Typically, as soon as a mega corporation moves into town, it wipes out small businesses. However, Starbucks has had the opposite effect on smaller competitors.

“I didn’t suffer whatsoever,” said Orange County coffeehouse owner Martin Diedrich to Slate. “Ultimately I prospered, in no small part because of [Starbucks].”

The company draws huge crowds to its stores, but when the lines are too long for customers to handle, they often get their coffee from the mom-and-pop shop next door. Major coffee houses are also able to market their stores to larger audiences, creating an increase in foot traffic near and around their stores, which expose smaller coffee shops to more people.

The mom-and-pop coffee industry is flourishing. According to a publication by the Specialty Coffee Association of America, in 2012, 57 percent of the nation’s coffee houses were independent, with 40 percent being large and three percent micro-chains with four to nine stores.

PHILANTHROPY

With the money franchise coffee houses make, they are able to give back more to their community than a smaller coffee house.

In 2011, Seattle’s Best Coffee gave non-profit organizations $5,000 donations and free coffee for a year. Dunkin’ Donuts raised $65,000 for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 2013. If great power comes with great responsibility, coffee house mega-chains live up to their responsibility by providing more than just a hot cup of coffee.

JORDAN N CL CLAYBAUGH L AY AYBA AYB AUG GH INTERN

It’s no surprise that the corporate coffee e industry has taken control of food sales over the past decade, not to mention coffee is the second most valuable legal export in the world (right behind oil).

However, with their ascent to fame and fortune, these companies have destroyed the credibility of their coffee, invested globally (not without harm) in the coffee market and ruined the coffee-drinking experience every java lover deserves to have.

THE GLOBALIZATION EFFECT

The buying and selling of coffee beans created one of the biggest markets on the globe, with an overall revenue estimated at around $55 billion. However, only about $7 billion goes to the coffee producers, while the other $48 billion goes to corporate owners. The export price of coffee is the lowest it’s been since 1900.

One exporting nation, Ethiopia, is known for its coffee beans. After Starbucks established production in Ethiopia, producers realized the value of their coffee. Coffee farmers found it odd that their coffee was retailed overseas at over three times the amount they were paid.

This began the conflict of intellectual property laws between Starbucks and Ethiopia.

The “coffee paradox” refers to the coffee boom in consuming nations and the coffee crisis in producing nations. While many coffee-focused corporations seek higher quality Arabica beans, the Robusta bean is cheaper with a slightly acrid taste. The “big four”: Proctor and Gamble, Kraft Foods, Sara Lee and Nestle control approximately 50 percent of the world’s coffee, seeking out Robusta beans. This has put thousands of Arabica farmers out of business, increasing the prices of coffee shops that use Arabica beans. No wonder a mocha is $4.25.

CHOICES, CHOICES, CHOICES...

Menu expansion has become popular among large coffee companies. How-

ever, more choices don’t guarantee more study conducted by Sheena purchases. A stud business professor at ColumIyengar, a busine bia University, shows that consumers are more likely to make a decision when given six ix choices as opposed to 30 choices. They are also more likely to be satisfied with their purchase.

With over 100 different items on the McDonald’s menu, the “McCafe” menu takes up over 20 choices. Over the past five years, Starbucks has removed the word “coffee” from its name and opened 70 new “Starbucks Evening” locations across America that now feature its evening menu.

While the main corporate growth strategy behind corporate coffee lies in an ever-expanding menu, studies show that customers may end up standing in line longer, delaying sales and becoming less satisfied with purchases.

WHO SPILLED THE BEANS AND BURNED THEM?

Many coffee lovers across America have described Starbucks beans as burnt. While the company will not reveal its roasting process, coffee drinkers are aware of the large demand for Starbucks beans. And with high demand comes rapid production.

Companies are masking low-quality beans with new roasting technology. “[Large coffee corporations’] stranglehold has been helped by new roasting technologies – notably a steaming process that removes many of the unpleasant, acrid tastes from Robusta beans,” Seattle Pi writer Tom Thompson said about Robusta consumers.

This means buyers end up paying more for lower quality.

Next time you pop into your favorite coffee shop, remember that you are being subconsciously manipulated by the number of choices available and the producer of your cup of joe was paid less than coffee-producing nations during the Great Depression. Sorry for the spilled beans, but let’s face it: they’re burnt.

According to a Vegetarian Resource Group survey, about 8 million people in the U.S. are vegan.

JEFF KIM STAFF WRITER

I’m not vegan because I love animals or because I care about my health although I hope to make it past 65. I am vegan because of climate change. However, I don’t believe that promoting what I eat is going to stop the problem in time. Why am I vegan then? So I can talk about it.

Even if everybody stopped eating meat in the next 10 years, we wouldn’t stop climate change.

According to Oxford University’s Trillionth Tonne, once we emit a trillion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, we will have passed the two degree Celsius threshold for climate safety. In order to prevent

it, we need to cut CO2 emissions by 2.66 percent each year – worldwide, until the end of time. Trillionth Tonne, however, neglects to factor in methane, the main greenhouse gas emitted by the meat industry.

Methane is anywhere from 20 to 86 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than CO2. In 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency calculated that the United States emitted about 5.5 billion tons of CO2 and 636 million tons of methane. Because CO2 is so potent, in the U.S. alone, we’re emitting the equivalent of 3 and a half times more CO2 than the Trillionth Tonne projects, which means that we need to cut the equivalent of 9.41 percent of

emissions per year.

Obama’s Clean Power Plan aims to reduce CO2 emissions from the power sector by 30 percent of 2005 levels by 2030. If successful, we would have reduced CO2 emissions by about 1.8 billion tons by that year. In order to meet Trillionth Tonne’s 2.66 percent reduction per year, we would need to cut at least 2.2 billion tons of CO2 by 2030. However, factor in methane and we would need to reduce 7.7 billion tons worth of CO2 emissions to avoid reaching the two degree mark.

Even if ceasing meat production in the next 10 years could stop climate change, nobody would do it. A Chatham House study conducted across 12 countries found

Somtimes you just need to take a break to read a cartoon that helps put society in perspective. The social commentary cartoons section introduced to the opinions page offers readers a visual outlet for matters pertaining to life, society and government. Some of these cartoons will be light-hearted and reflect student life, others will tackle bigger issues that ofteny7 shed light on controversial topics in society and contribute to the coversation of these issues. This collaboration between the Opinions Desk and Comic Desk combines the art and creativity of cartoons with the social and thought provoking aspect of opinons. With the creation of the social commentary cartoons, we hope to push beyond the written boundaries of covering heavier issues by introducing a new way to visualize them.

that most people were unaware that methane from livestock was a major cause of global warming.

Most people believe vehicle emissions are the primary cause.

SO WHAT’S THE SOLUTION?

A revenue neutral methane tax.

It’s like a carbon tax, a way to internalize the external cost of burning fossil fuels but for methane.

WHAT DOES THE REVENUE NEUTRAL PART MEAN?

It means that the the government doesn’t keep any of the money collected from the tax and instead rebates it all to the public.

DOES THIS SOLUTION WORK?

It did for Vancouver. In 2008, Van-

couver enacted a revenue neutral carbon tax. Six years later, gasoline consumption went down seven times without hurting the economy. In fact, a proposal for a revenue neutral carbon tax in the U.S. would even boost the economy.

SO WHY AM I VEGAN?

It’s the only thing I can do on a personal level to address the meat industry’s impact on climate change.

In the big picture, it’s about starting the conversation about pricing methane and addressing the problem head on. Also, my skin looks better, and I lost 15 pounds.

Don’t get burned by sunscreen Optimal skin protection needs more than a bottle of sunscreen AUSTIN YOSHINO / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Limit your sun exposure, especially during midday.

TRICIA KHUN STAFF WRITER

Though sunscreen sales have increased, generating more than $1 billion a year between 2007 and 2012, the prevalence of skin cancer is increasing, raising concerns that the sunscreen we use may be another damaging chemical we unknowingly introduce to our bodies.

WHAT’S IN MY SUNSCREEN?

According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), an American environmental organization, most sunscreens on the market contain chemical filters. Many chemicals contained in sunscreen are easily

broken down by sunlight as a single compound, which is why they need to be combined with chemical filters for better stabilization. There are sunscreen products on the market that still have certain chemicals with the potential to disrupt hormonal balance, the reproductive systems and normal development of the human body, according to EWG. Aside from chemical sunscreens, mineral sunscreens made with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are also sold. The EWG database rates these mineral-based ointments better than chemical sunscreens. However, it is unclear if these mineral sunscreens are healthier for the human body.

SUNSCREEN NO LONGER KNOWS BEST

Not too long ago, sunscreen lotions with a high SPF were a big hit – the higher the SPF, the better. However, according to the EWG, what may have been considered effective two to five years ago may not be today. Instead of solely relying on sunscreen, it might also be a good idea to bring back other traditional skin protection methods into your daily routine.

DO’S AND DON’TS OF SKIN PROTECTION DO • Wear a hat • Use sunscreen labeled SPF 15-50 and “broad spectrum protection” (protects from UVA and UVB rays) • Avoid sunscreen with vitamin A, retinol, retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate, PABA, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and oxybenzone • Avoid sunscreen sprays as they can potentially get inhaled into the lungs

DON’T • Use higher SPFs (over SPF 50). They are misleading • Depend only on sunscreen for skin protection

The 5 types of people on your Snapchat friend list SARAH ARMSTRONG / INTERN

• Ignore the labels on sunscreen products

With nearly 8,796 pictures exchanged per second by users worldwide, Snapchat has become one of the most popular photo sharing apps on the market according to data from photoworld.com.

Because images can only be viewed for a set amount of time before expiring, Snapchat has a casual, no-strings-attached approach to social media compared to other platforms such as Instagram or Facebook. The somewhat ephemeral aspect encourages snappers to share videos and pictures generously and with fewer hesitations.

Each user is free to adopt their own style of snapping, but several trends have developed.

THE AVID EATER

THE DOCUMENTARIAN

THE FIESTA FINDER

THE GYM RAT

THE ONE-SECOND SALLY

The Avid Eater’s snaps peak around mealtimes. From their morning Starbucks (bonus points if the barista spelled their name wrong) to the late-night pizza delivery, this snapchatter makes sure you know how well-fed they are. Some of the dishes, like an artistically crafted açai bowl, a colorful platter of sushi or a juicy burger earn the “Snap-worthy” status. Other less-aesthetically pleasing culinary exploits, such as a greasy pile of french fries would be better left unshared.

Providing followers with a detailed play-by-play of their lives, this Snapchatter chronicles every bus ride they take, friend they meet and sunset they witness (#blessed).

While their moms might be thrilled to see detailed content, those of us with a full class load or multiple jobs do not have the time nor passion to watch minutes of generic sunny skies with temperature filters or faces freckled with emojis.

When you put in your retainer and tuck yourself in for the night, the Fiesta Finder’s evening has just begun. You catch one or two snaps of their first few rounds of shots before dozing off, and wake up in the morning to witness an incoherent stream of videos and blurry pictures on their story. Initially, this habitual partying was amusing and enjoyable to watch.

Over time, their festive lifestyle tends to lose some of its sparkle, especially when you see their bleary-eyed selfies the morning after.

Count on the Gym Rat to make you feel guilty as you watch them power through mile after mile on the treadmill or pump iron in the weight room. It’s great that these people are taking care of their health; not only does exercise improve physical fitness, it’s also great way to relieve stress. But is it really necessary for them to flood their story with daily protein shakes and consequent #gains? Probably not.

One-Second Sally (or Sam) has a Snap Story worthy of provoking an epileptic seizure. After a unexpected onslaught of rapid-fire selfies, we spectators are likely to suffer from brief eye spasms or mild confusion trying to keep track of the information. Curiously, and with a cruelly ironic twist, the most beautiful people and unusual sceneries tend to be captured in these momentary bursts and leave us shamelessly replaying the Snaps to get another glimpse.

The ‘Bows will close the season with three consecutive home games.

What now Naeole?

DREW AFUALO STAFF WRITER

The University of Hawai‘ i Rainbow Warrior football team (2-8) has been experiencing an uphill battle this fall. Struggling with yet another losing season and multiple changes in leadership, it is hard to predict what is in store for the remainder of the season.

Following a record home conference loss against the Air Force, former offensive line coach Chris Naeole was thrown into the fire after the university decided to relieve head coach Norm Chow of his duties.

“Things are really just like a whirlwind for me right now,” Naeole said. “I’m just trying to go meeting to meeting, practice to practice and take care of business.”

The first order of business for Naeole was the substitution of Max Wittek for Ikaika Woolsey at the starting quarterback position, as well as appointing eight captains. Senior offensive lineman Ben Clarke is the only returning captain.

After replacing Chow, Naeole said that his main priority is making sure the transition is smooth for his players, especially with their new leadership.

“With the new captains, I feel like they bring a little more credibility to the team,” Naeole said. “The eight guys I chose all have been playing, in the first eight games, pretty well.”

An O‘ahu native and Kahuku High School graduate, Naeole is now in his third season with the Warriors.

After spending over 11 years in the NFL and returning to the islands to start coaching, the Hawai‘i community is expecting big things from the Ka‘a‘awa local.

The first challenge up for the Warriors was returning to the grind

after experiencing a whirlwind of emotions and change. Expected to hit the ground running, next on the list was the UNLV Rebels, the last road game of the season for Hawai‘ i before returning to the islands for good.

“We’ve been playing for the seniors all year,” wide receiver Dylan Collie said. “I’m pretty upset

I’m just trying to go meeting to meeting, practice to practice and take care of business.

– CHRIS NAEOLE FOOTBALL INTERIM HEAD COACH

that we didn’t get to the bowl game for them. But we have four games to go, so we can take these four games and go into 2016 ready to roll and get to that bowl game.”

Although the Warriors had the historical advantage over the Rebels with a series record of 15-9, the abrupt change in leadership proved to be difficult for the Warriors to adjust to come game time.

The ‘Bows were unable to gain the traction as they fell 41-21 on Saturday afternoon. After getting as close as 27-21 in the fourth quarter, UH couldn’t get over the hump and finished the season winless on the road.

Naeole has expressed how he does not wish to remain the face of Warrior football, and seeing how difficult it may be to turn the program around after Chow’s reign, can anyone really blame him?

A new Era (n ) ‘Bows adjusting to third head coach in a year

2015-16 MEN’S BASKETBALL PARTY THEME NIGHT SCHEDULE SHANE GRACE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The ‘Bows were picked to finish third out of nine teams in the Big West conference preseason polls.

CHRISTIAN SHIMABUKU INTERIM SPORTS EDITOR

Around this time last year, fans of the University of Hawai‘i men’s basketball team were wondering what would happen next with a new head coach.

This year, for different reasons, fans are thinking the same thing.

After a hectic year symbolized by an NCAA investigation, the ‘Bows played for three different head coaches in that span. Aiming to add stability and decorum to the program is first year head coach Eran Ganot.

“It’s definitely been an adjustment,” senior point guard Roderick Bobbitt said. “It’s been three different systems so we have to learn on the fly.”

Ganot previously served as an assistant on the staff at St. Mary’s College in California for five seasons.

However, this isn’t his first time coaching at Mānoa. He served on the UH staff from 2006 to 2010 as an assistant and has called this position his dream job.

“People have told me to make sure I enjoy it but you gotta hit the ground running,” Ganot said. “Every day I understand how fortunate I am to be in this position.... my journey and goal was to run a program where I played or coached. To get to do that at a place I call home is pretty special.”

A REVAMPED OFFENSE

Expect the ‘Bows to rack up an abundance of points this year.

Under Ganot, the Rainbow Warriors will utilize a 4-out 1-in offense that emphasizes ball movement and three-point shooting.

In addition to their new schemes, the NCAA’s decision to reduce the shot clock from 35 to 30 will mean even more shots for the ‘Bows.

Over 12 years of coaching, this is the system Ganot sees as giving the ‘Bows the best chance to win.

“It’s not my system, it’s our system,” Ganot said. “There’s a system that myself and our staff are comfortable with.... I think it’s important to make sure you work with your team and find a style of play that puts us in the best position to be successful.”

Although it’s yet another system to learn for the players, it is one that they have enjoyed so far.

“We have a good offensive flow going with feeding the open guy, dribble-drives,” junior swingman Aaron Vales said. “We have a lot of

11 returning letterwinners. The ‘Bows hope to keep all the adversity they face on the court this year.

“My goal is to win the Big West,” junior swingman Aaron Valdes said.

“We were a couple minutes away last year and we know what we’re capable of as a team returning almost everybody, we’re all excited to get out there and do what we do.”

Echoing those thoughts were Bobbitt, who puts wins above everything else.

“For the team, I just want us to keep growing and I want us to be undefeated by the time the Diamond Head [Classic] comes and of course win that because it’s our

trust in ourselves as players and teammates so it’s gonna be a lot of fun.”

“I like the spacing that we have on the court,” Bobbitt said. “We get up a ton of shots and ventually they’ll start falling. Those two things I really like the most.”

HIGH EXPECTATIONS

In the midst of a year filled with uncertainty, the ‘Bows went all the way to the Big West championship game en route to a 22-13 record for the 2014-2015 season.

The 22 wins were the most for the program since the 2001-2002 season, which is also the last time the ‘Bows made the NCAA tournament.

In addition to the school’s conflicts with the NCAA almost fully resolved, this year’s squad features

tournament,” Bobbitt said. “After that, that’s when conference starts and of course we want to win conference.”

However, Ganot was not willing to go that far ahead. His step-bystep approach is one he hopes to get across to the team.

“We have some goals we set and that we’re going to continue to talk about that we protect because that’s our goals,” Ganot said. “In the meantime, the focus has been process versus outcome. It’s important to set your goals for the year and put them aside because you can’t get to them today.”
