Why did the pagoda candy that was popular all over the country suddenly disappear?

Because pagoda sugar was eliminated by society, safer and more effective products took its place, so it disappeared.

Because these pagoda sugars are actually the drugs of the roundworm, there are other substitutes after that, so they disappear.

Because with the development of China's economy, our medical technology has also been greatly improved, so that there are fewer roundworms in the human body, and the vast majority of people no longer need to use pagoda sugar to ** roundworms.

The reason why pagoda sugar is so resistant to loss in China is because the raw material Artemisia annua is extinct.

Pagoda candy is not a candy, but a medicine to repel roundworms. At the end of the 70s, when the insecticide began to be promoted throughout the country, in order to make it easy for children to accept, a certain proportion of sugar and coloring were added to this medicine, and after processing in the pharmaceutical factory, it had a variety of colors and became a cone with slag Yu Chun Ling, which looked like a pagoda shape, so it was named "pagoda sugar".

With the extinction of Artemisia annua in our country, pagoda sugar has also disappeared and has become a memory of an era. Of course, later there were new roundworm repellents to replace pagoda sugar, but it didn't taste like it used to be.

What has pagoda sugar been replaced?

Pagoda candy, I think many people's first impression is a pink shape, and its appearance looks very similar to pagoda candy, in our era there are no small snacks, many people eat this candy as candy, in fact, everyone knows.

Pagoda sugar is actually a medicine that many people often take when they were young, and its function is to repel insects, so why can't the smash hit pagoda candy not only be used as medicine but also as a snack, such a good snack can no longer be found now, in fact, there is a reason for this.

Another reason is that the raw material of "pagoda sugar" is Artemisia annua, which is born in sandy soil or gray loam soil with deep soil, fertile soil and good permeability, because of the high requirements for soil, so Artemisia annua is not very easy to survive in China, so over time Artemisia annua is becoming less and less in China, because of the lack of raw materials, so "pagoda sugar" can not be produced.

Now our living standards have slowly improved, and some new types of green worm drugs on the market are also endless, and now people's conditions are getting better and better, and eating is getting better and better, so a large part of people will choose a better drug effect to repel insects, so it has completely replaced this pagoda sugar.

And now people are already very particular about eating, and what benefits or disadvantages to the body after eating will be considered, so at this time, there will be some new substitutes on the market, so it is reasonable that this kind of pagoda sugar, which was indispensable for people in the past, has now disappeared.

Because there were not enough materials to make pagoda candy, it was a coincidence that it was not allowed to be sold.

There is a material called wormwood in pagoda sugar, which is currently extinct in our country, and if it is made, it needs to be imported from abroad, which increases the cost and the cost is higher. At the same time, with the development of the times, there are various snacks that can replace pagoda sugar.

Nowadays, many post-80s and 90s generations want to relive the taste of their childhood, so some merchants make some candies according to the style of pagoda candy for sale, but the taste is not the same.

Anistle is a unique medicinal plant in the Arctic Circle, in the past, China has always relied on imports from the former Soviet Union, due to the high cost now, it is no longer used as a raw material to make.

Pagoda Sugar:

The roundworm that "Pagoda Sugar" deals with is an ancient human parasite. In the early days of liberation more than 50 years ago, ascariasis was a very common disease that existed in both urban and rural areas in China.

This agent, which is specifically used to repel roundworms, is extracted from the Asteraceae plant, Artemisia annua. At first, it was a tablet, but later, in order to make the medicine enjoyable for children, a certain percentage of sugar was added and a pagoda shape was made into a yellowish and pink cone. People call this roundworm medicine pagoda sugar.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the registration, supervision and management of drugs were not yet on the right track. "Pagoda sugar" has become a mixed name of the drug name and the brand name used by more than a dozen pharmaceutical factories across the country to repel roundworms.

Before the 80s, pagoda sugar was a very popular drug, but many people find that it is almost impossible to see it on the market today. In many people's childhood memories, pagoda candy was a smash hit food back then, so why can't you see pagoda candy now?

First of all, this pagoda sugar is an anthelmintic medicine. Because at that time, the quality of life of the people in my country was not very high, and the food they ate was not so healthy. This can bring a lot of drawbacks.

For example, there are bugs in the stomach, the child has a stomachache, etc.

Then, this kind of pagoda candy came into being from time to time, becoming the only way to repel insects, and it is cheap, but the effect is very small, which is very suitable for children to use, and it can also make every family affordable. But as everyone's economic life improved, this sugar had no prospects.

In addition, to make this kind of pagoda sugar, there is an imported material, which China does not have, and after the introduction of it, it was tried to be cultivated in the Northeast, but the effect was not very good. This kind of drug cannot be sold at a price, and it is not profitable, so naturally there are no pharmaceutical companies to continue to produce, but choose to produce other drugs. Finally, at the end of the 80s, China banned the production of a batch of medicinal materials, and this pagoda sugar was among them.

Because the country has found better alternatives to produce medicines that are less harmful to people. Survival of the fittest, this kind of pagoda candy in our memory, will naturally disappear.

Under normal circumstances, you can take anthelmintic medicine once a year, and autumn is the best season to repel roundworms, because in summer, both adults and children will eat a large number of fresh vegetables and fruits, which will inevitably have roundworm eggs, and there are more chances of infection with roundworms.

Especially in autumn, the larvae grow into adults, all of which are concentrated in the small intestine. And anthelmintic medicine is best taken on an empty stomach or at night before going to bed. At this time, the gastrointestinal food has been basically emptied, and the drug is easy to fully contact with the insect body after entering the intestine, which can improve the insecticidal effect.

The ethanol extract of neem bark has a paralyzing effect on Ascaris suis in vitro, especially Ascaris suis, and its active ingredient Edadirachtin has a stronger effect than neem bark extract. The effect of different concentrations of sensendanin on Ascaris suis was mild, moderate to completely inhibited with increasing concentrations, and then gradually resumed activity. For the whole Ascaris suis, Toosendanin is paralyzed at high concentrations, and has obvious excitatory effect on Ascaris suis at low concentrations, with violent contractions, which can disrupt the energy metabolism of the insects, so that the insects can not attach to the intestinal wall and be excreted from the body.

The main site of action of sensendanin is the nerve ring of the head of Ascaris.

Because there have been many substitutes for pagoda sugar on the market, the efficacy of these drugs is better than pagoda sugar, so doctors will no longer prescribe pagoda sugar to people, as an over-the-counter drug pagoda candy in the pharmacy, the only remaining value is to be a cheap fraction of this food, but if it is simply a snack, its cost performance is far inferior to other candies. Pagoda sugar, which was originally a popular product, lost its market competitiveness.

As the sales of pagoda sugar gradually went extinct and declined, Artemisia annua also faced disappearance. Yes, even pagoda candy is not needed, so there is no need for its raw materials. The farms in Weifang no longer grow Artemisia annua in large quantities and in large quantities, and use the land to grow more cash crops.

Artemisia was about to become extinct, and some old workers felt that it was a pity, so they saved some seeds, but the success of the method of deep well preservation at that time was purely accidental, this time, they used the same method to preserve, but did not succeed in leaving the last seeds of Artemisia annua.

In just two years, Artemisia annua has gone from thousands of acres to species extinction, and people today can't remember what Artemisia annua is, and can't remember what pagoda candy tastes like. However, people also said goodbye to ascariasis, so pagoda sugar disappeared.

Although it is a pity that an old object has disappeared, from another point of view, it is also a kind of luck, and the children of the new century no longer have to endure ascariasis, and they also have better medicines and better medical conditions, which we should be happy about.
