Our body gets pissed over the sugar-free sweet bait-and-switch.

So I make sure to eat something with sugar when I drink one 💀

Idk why but it cracks me up that they think it's just a mind over matter type of thing like that. People don't realize how bad (certain) artificial sweeteners are for us or that we actually do need to consume some sugar.

I don't think you're interpreting what they said correctly.. They're not saying it's mental, it's physiological. Your body senses the food and prepares the chemicals it expects to need to break it down and handle the digestion, but then they aren't needed. They don't know they're not needed though, so they go to work anyway and it affects your health. It's not a mind over matter thing, it's just biology going to work.
