Not only psychology, but training. If your body gets a load of sugar every time it tastes UPF additives, it learns to release insulin on taste to protect itself.

Isn't that what glycemic index means though? How quickly the sugar gets released?

Not really, chemical sweeteners have no sugar, but still trigger an insulin response.
