Other common Endocrine Disruptors inlcude PFE, PFOAs (teflon coating
on cookware, coats/clothing, furniture, carpets, floor polishes, etc).
Following is a snipet from http://www.ewg.org/node/21726

"So far, five different pathways have been identified that might
explain how PFOA causes cancer and other types of toxicity. These
include mitochondrial toxicity; cell membrane disruption that results
in decreased cell communication; peroxisome proliferation; increased
levels of estrogen and decreased levels of testosterone; and decreased
thyroid hormone levels."
