It is very very hard to reach a harmful level of fructose when eating apples or other fruit.
If consuming juices or concentrates it is very easy.

Orange flesh is about 3% fibre. 97% juice. There is no significant difference between eating an orange and drinking a small glass of juice, except the work involved.
I don't think that changes "very easy" to "very very hard".
Even time to chew it all is a big difference. It takes several oranges to make a glass of orange juice, which I can down in about a minute. It takes me quite a while to eat an entire orange. Since it also takes time for people to realize they're full, this also helps not to eat so much.

i stopped drinking oj when I moved to San Francisco and saw one of those novelty juicing machines with the orange hopper and exposed internals. it was like 6 or 7 oranges in a single glass!
also made me realize why fresh oj is insanely expensive at restaurants.
Except, each orange only contains about 2 fl.oz of juice. What is significantly easier - drinking 16 fl. oz of juice or eating 8 oranges?
