If so why?

Toothpaste doesn't contain pure cane sugar like what you cook with, but rather Glycerin, usually from coconut oil, just as a sweetener so that it is more pleasant to taste. Some also contain Saccharin and/or Sorbital. They put the sweetener in to cover up the horrid taste of the cleansing ingredients. If it were not for the sugar components, brushing your teeth would hardly even be bearable.

nope. that would be completely contradictory of toothpaste. there may be an ingredient that contains a different type of 'sugar' than we are familiar with, but it wouldn't make sense to put sugar in toothpaste. you must be using crappy toothpaste arhar ;P

This is not true. But most contain artifical sweetners like saccarine or nutrasweet other wise it would taste like chalk.

Considering that sugars help infect a tooth (aka.. cavities) - so why why why would you use it? You question is not exactly clear - worded very wrong.

Read the ingredients label. IF it does, it's so that it'll taste better, therefore, people will buy it and use it.
