Not in that form, no. It comes packaged with fibre and water and other micronutrients. In the form of a piece of fruit, it is almost impossible to take in too much fructose in one sitting. So don't stop eating fruit.
From an evolutionary perspective, humans would not have had access to a never-ending supply of fructose, but it is a very good source of energy, so our bodies became very efficient at extracting it from the foods we eat. Nowadays people are more or less drip-fed fructose from first thing in the morning to last thing at night, and it is possible that this is at least partly responsible for some long-term health issues.
