Does eating mint sweets act like a laxative?

Eating mint sweets is not typically considered a laxative. However, some people may experience a mild laxative effect due to the sugar alcohols often used in sugar-free mints, such as sorbitol or xylitol, which can cause digestive discomfort or a laxative effect in larger quantities. Overall, mint sweets are not primarily intended for this purpose and their effect can vary by individual.
