Unclear. The aforementioned study fed mice sugar water [1], and cautions against extending its findings to fruit as "natural fructose obtained from plants typically confers metabolic benefits due to its slower absorption rate and the presence of beneficial plant fiber and antioxidants."
It does mention, however, that "human physiology...confronts challenges when metabolizing fructose beyond 25g/day." That's like a cup of grapes, a medium pear or half a mango [2].
