There have been studies done where patients were given lots of fruit and it did not cause a laxative effect.

> Seventeen people were made to eat 20 servings a day of fruit. Despite the extraordinarily high fructose content of this diet, presumably about 200 g/d—eight cans of soda worth, the investigators reported no adverse effects (and possible benefit actually) for body weight, blood pressure, and insulin and lipid levels after three to six months.




That article says nothing about a laxative effect.


Exactly.


You failed to provide evidence that fruit exhibits no laxative effect. That study didn't report a laxative effect because it wasn't testing for a laxative effect.


It would have been reported as an adverse effect and it wasn't.
