I didn't say it was good for you. I was just answering why they say not to swallow toothpaste but say drinking fluoridated water is OK.
Aside from all of that let's just talk about what fluoride is
Fluorine is an element. . Fluoride is an anion of Fluorine.
But drinking fluoridated water isn't okay? It's literal industrial waste.
Instead of looking at it through an insidious lens, I find it better to just look at the greedy aspect of it.
It's pretty costly and time-consuming to dispose of toxic waste.
But if you cite the superficial benefits of fluoride on dental health you can sell your byproduct to the stupid public officials that eventually add it to your water. You've just made a decent profit off of something that was going to cost you.
Water fluoridation literally confers no benefits.

An element can't be a byproduct because you can't manufacture elements except for with a nuclear reaction.It can be a contaminant, though.
Hey retard, we've discovered several elements via them being a byproduct of reactions we already knew.
A byproduct is just a product inadvertently made while producing something else. This can be incidental or secondary (IE deliberate.) There are no hard or fast rules on what can or can't be a byproduct.
While you're right that we can't manufacture elements out of whole cloth, we can derive them from other elements through interaction and reaction.
Sodium fluoride is a byproduct of phosphate fertilizer, aluminum, and iron ore manufacturing. Direct words from the NCBI. For example, the neutralization of two byproducts from fluorapatite in phosphate rock to make superphosphate creates the byproduct sodium fluoride.
Neon was discovered because two English chemists knew that the creation of liquid air, would give them a strange gaseous- neon THE BYPRODUCT OF LIQUID AIR!
Aside from all of this, this discussion was about fluoride being safe for consumption, not it's creation or make up. Don't move goalposts honey.
