Is it true, that there is sugar in your saliva?

Saliva Contains

I think I learned this in school.

There's no sugar in saliva itself to speak of, but saliva contains an enzyme, amylaze, that begins to break down complex carbohydrates (like the stuff in bread etc) into simple carbohydrates (like glucose, which is in sugar I think).

This is from the site:

"Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down complex carbohydrates, starches, glycogen, etc. into smaller, simpler units. It is part of saliva, and is where digestion begins. Try this: put a piece of whole grain in your mouth, noticing the taste. Now chew it. You'll notice it begins to taste sweeter as you chew it, because the increasing surface area of the carbohydrate is being converted by the amylase enzymes in your saliva."
