Soda water, or otherwise called mineral water in Mexico, is a popular soft drink here. Someone told me that it can cause bone loss. Is that true?

Do you know what kinds of minerals are supposedly in the water? It would really depend on what kinds of minerals.
I was going to say "no" but I googled the "effect of mineral water on bones."
It appears there is some truth to that. The idea is that it effects the kidneys which help regulate mineral absorption in the body.
QUOTE
Alkali supplements decrease bone resorption and increase bone mineral density. Alkali diets also lower bone resorption. Mineral waters alone could have such an effect. In several subsequent studies in humans, bicarbonate-rich alkali mineral waters with low potential renal acid load values were shown to decrease bone resorption markers and even parathyroid hormone levels. This effect seems to be stronger than that of acidic calcium-rich mineral waters and could also be demonstrated in calcium sufficiency.

wouldn't the leaching from bones be if the bones were actually in the water with or without minerals? otherwise it's more complex than that. the body working to keep stasis in all places/systems.

Yes, I believe there would be. I was told by an instructor that distilled water would have that effect. However, from what I understand in the articles I found, the effect of mineral water does not come from the water leaching minerals from body. The effect would come from the interference of the body's use of the minerals. IOW, they don't get deposited properly but not necessarily removed.
And, it would actually depend on what kinds of minerals there are. If water contains calcium, it would add to the amount of calcium in the body.
(I work in the water treatment industry.)
