No study at this time has quantified the risk of sugary vs. diet sodas. They just point out that each one increases the risk of specific medical problems but with no certain indication of which one is worse or by how much. And even deciding what worse means is a big deal. They can simply kill you or decrease your quality of life in different ways. Doesn't make one better. It's the same recently with cigarettes and e-cigs. Determining smoking or drinking coke is bad compared to not doing it is relatively straight forward. Determining what's better out of 2 alternatives that just harm you in different ways and that weren't studied enough is harder. If you want to play it safe go for none of them.
