Am I the only one who is slightly bothered by the fact that toothpaste is artificially sweetened?

edit: I mean, do we really honestly need our toothpaste sweetened at all?

I agree with this. I used only water for years.

Then I had braces in my late 20's, and I had to brush my teeth a *lot* and found that I was really irritating my gums. That's when I discovered that toothpaste has some lubricating qualities as well as being foamy & minty & having fluoride.

I use Tom's and have for years. I also barely squeeze any toothpaste into my brush and I get plenty of foaminess to spit out. Those commercials are evil (but then, aren't they all?).
