It's not particularly healthy. Thing is, it's not unhealthy enough to cause a problem in the occasional glass of water that most people have, which is why adding it to the drinking water is virtually every municipality of any size for millions of people hasn't caused a problem that is to big to ignore, even decades later, such as with lead paint.
If you go down the fluoride rabbit hole a little further, some think fluoride will solidify your pineal gland. This is why it's in our water and toothpaste.
I'm willing to agree that God speaks to us through our minds in ways that we don't understand, which may include the pineal gland, but I don't agree that the soul is located there, per se.
Then keep drinking that glass of water 365 days a year, for 60 years or so.
Then brush teeth twice daily.
Then shower in it, hopefully frequently.
In sodas and juices as well.
Ever seen erosion or salt buildups over time from a small drip?
Not to mention water intake is really more like 1L/day though 2-3/day is quoted.
That's the thing about carcinogens and stuff that is bad for you over long term exposure, even stuff like radiation from the sun. Virtually everyone could take a glass of fluorinated water every day for 60 years and be just fine, just like most people could get plenty of sun everyday and be just fine.
It's very hard, on a population level, to tease out fluoride induced diseases from all the other shit people put into their bodies that cause similar problems.
Look, I'm not pro-fluoride. Quite acting like it. If anything, it's less of a problem that other things in our food supply.
Lead oxidizes in pipes, and get a neutral layer on it that makes it safe. It's only when the water is acidic, or base, (such as happened with Flint, MI) that the water eats away at the oxidation and it leads people to ingest lead from their water pipes. Even then, if you let the water run for 30 seconds before taking a drink, you flush out the stagnant lead particles and you're fine. Not that is a solution, btw.
It was long noted, though, that house painters, and lead miners, and their children, had problems. When lead was used in gasoline, that's when way more people were exposed to it starting in the mid 20th century and the mass usage of the automobile. Prior to that, lead paint on the walls didn't cause a problem because nobody was eating the paint chips or breathing the dust in from the windows, because they didn't have AC.
The lead piping in homes in America is the connections/joints between the municipal water hook up at the street, and into the house. That's were the problem lead came from in Flint, MI. I don't think there has been 100% lead piping since, say, the Middle Ages. Even back then, they knew that copper, for instance, had a purifying effect. In modern terms, it's antiseptic.
Frankly, I wonder what the replacement of copper with plastic in all the ticky-tack suburban homes is doing to people.

It's in our water because years and years ago someone figured out how to sell a toxic byproduct of manufacturing steal to government
True. In the 60s it was added to toothpaste.
What does solidifying your pineal gland do?
The pineal gland is our receptor to God, where our soul is located, behind your eyes.
I'm willing to agree that God speaks to us through our minds in ways that we don't understand, which may include the pineal gland, but I don't agree that the soul is located there, per se.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a huge culprit. Don't "muh sugar" me on that one. The body processes it differently than natural sugars.

Yeah, no you aren't! It depends where the lead piping is.
