Fructose is fructose .. your liver can't tell if it came from an apple or corn syrup. The difference with whole fruit is that it comes packaged with fiber and other nutrients.
Can you have too much fruit? Yes. Fructose isn't the only type of sugar in fruits .. they also contain other sugars as well, usually glucose and also sucrose.
Here's a chart which shows the varying amounts and types of sugar found in some fruits and vegetables.
