I wanted to start a thread on estrogenics aka xenoestrogens. These things bind to estrogen receptors and mimic estrogen. Some of these include Bisphenols, mold, and EE2 (birth control).
If you want to learn more about estrogen receptors I've made a post about it here and interviewed doctors on the subject as well.
If you want to learn more about estrogenics, I've made a post about that as well and interviewed a leading researcher on the subject.

In this thread, I think it would be a good idea to also list where hidden products have estrogenics, so we can stay away from them.
For example, today I noticed the SAM-e (brand Source Naturals) I was using had "methylcellulose phthalate". Now this was big surprise to me so I instantly threw this out and am now curious where other hidden "estrogenics" are hiding.
According to Dr. Jay in my interview, an easy way to tell if a chemical binds to the estrogen receptor is if it has "benz" or "phen" in the chemical name.
