Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Scientific evidence supports the position that toothpastes containing fluoride and safe formulation agents protect against demineralization and prevent tooth decay.

The analysis

The claim states that sweetened toothpaste does not cause tooth decay due to its formulation and fluoride content. The retrieved literature extensively confirms that fluoride-containing toothpastes actively remineralize enamel, inhibit demineralization, and protect against caries despite other formulation ingredients. Therefore, the claim is supported by the evidence.
