How much fruit is too much?
It depends on what else you’re eating. If you’re trying to lose weight and are eating all the recommended servings of other food groups, 3 or 4 servings of fruit is a reasonable target. If you’re eating fewer calories than you need, there’s no set limit on whole fresh fruits.
Is the fructose in fruit a problem?

The short answer is no. The body’s ability to handle fructose is seldom overwhelmed by consuming whole fruit. Fruits also are loaded with protective phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, as well as valuable fiber that slows the absorption of the sugars. In fact, the more fruit that people consume, the lower their risk of diabetes.
