Based on the research I've done about hormone disruptors I've compiled a list of some of the more commonly discussed chemicals that mess around with our hormones in one way or another.  Clicking each compound name that I listed will take you to the Wikipedia® article if you'd like further information.
<ul>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Paraben - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paraben" target="_blank">Parabens</a></span> - known to mimic estrogen &amp; <strong>linked to breast cancer</strong>. Widely found in makeup, moisturizers which may be why one study found significantly higher levels in women than men</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="BHA - Wikipedia Link" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylated_hydroxyanisole" target="_blank">BHA (Butylated hydroxyanisole)</a></span> - Food preservative also found in moisturizers and cosmetics such as lipsticks. Listed as a <strong>carcinogenic</strong> by the State of California. Health Canada lists BHA as "<strong>high human health priority"</strong>.  European Union prohibits it's use in fragrances. BHA interferes with hormone function.</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="BHT" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butylated_hydroxytoluene" target="_blank">BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene)</a></span> - closely related to BHA. May mimic estrogen and cause adverse affects to reproductive health.  Health Canada lists BHT as "moderate human health priority".</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Phthalate - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate" target="_blank">Phthalates</a></span> - are used in a wide variety of products, including nail products, children's toys, coating on pharmaceuticals, plastics, etc.  Certain phthalates have been shown to have an adverse affect on reproductive health and disrupt hormones.</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Triclosan - Wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triclosan" target="_blank">Triclosan</a></span> - found in antibacterial products such as soaps, toothpastes, mouthwashes, hand sanitizers,  antiperspirants/deodorants, laundry detergent, facial tissues, trash bags.  Suspected as interfering with hormone function.</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Formaldehyde_releaser" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde_releaser" target="_blank">Formaldehyde releasing preservatives </a></span>(DMDM hydantoin, diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, methenamine, quaternium-15 and sodium hydroxymethylglycinate) - a known carcinogen to humans but still widely used in hair products, moisturizers, nail polishes, building supplies, etc.</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="PEG - Polyethylene Glycol" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene_glycol" target="_blank">PEG (polyethylene glycols)</a></span> - Can be contaminated with 1, 4 dioxans potentially carcinogenic. Unfortunately, PEG is frequently found in otherwise safe personal care products.</li>
	<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a title="Petrolatum" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrolatum" target="_blank">Petrolatum</a></span> - petroleum jelly - a known endocrine disruptor. Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate (SLS/SLES) - found in foamy products like soaps, shampoos, cleansers, bubble baths.  Can be contaminated with 1,4-dioxan which is potentially carcinogenic.</li>
	<li>Coal Tar Dyes - colors identified as CI followed by five digits</li>
	<li>DEA, cocamide DEA and lauramide DEA -</li>
</ul>
