Dear Editor, The article I am sharing with Solomon Islander’s readers today carries a strong message about the health risks in drinking “sugar sweetened beverages.” The worst drinks for blood sugar control are the drinks containing the greatest amount of sugar, also known as “sugar-sweetened beverages”. And the drinks that contain the greatest amount of sugar are sodas,…
Dear Editor, In response to the article released on 12th October 2022, I want to raise my concern on the specific topic above. The article released yesterday, mentions the $300 fine of a teen drinking kwaso in public places. This is somewhere around the Burnscreek area.

So when election come make sure…

DEAR EDITOR, It appears the prime minister of the Solomon Islands and his government will do anything to stay in power. Corruption, taking away the independence of the national broadcaster, lying to the people of the Solomon Islands and everyone else, it wouldn’t have anything to do with China would it?
