For example – Diet Coke is more unhealthy for you than normal Coca Cola because diet drinks contain high fructose syrup while normal ones contain real sugar.
Is this true?
Yes, they cause cancer and diabetes and make you more overweight then regular soft drinks.

Uh, NO, Coke DOES contain high fructose corn syrup. Haven't you looked at the ingredients?
The reason diet sodas are horrible is that a) they still create an insulin response to sugar, real or not; and b) that fake sweetener causes cancer.

DALLAS, July 24 — Drinking more than one soft drink daily — whether it’s regular or diet — may be associated with an increase in the risk factors for heart disease, Framingham researchers reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.
“We were struck by the fact that it didn’t matter whether it was a diet or regular soda that participants consumed, the association with increased risk was present,” said Ramachandran Vasan, M.D., senior author of the Framingham Heart Study and professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine. “In those who drink one or more soft drinks daily, there was an association of an increased risk of developing the metabolic syndrome.”
Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardiovascular disease and diabetes risk factors including excess waist circumference, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL “good” cholesterol) and high fasting glucose levels. The presence of three or more of the factors increases a person’s risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
