There are hundreds of non-estrogen compounds that bind to the estrogen receptor sites and produce the same results. Tofu contains a lot of it.

Polyethylene is made from a catalytic reaction using pure ethylene gas and certain metals. Pure polyethylene is formed by this process. Estrogen is a completely different compound, with elements that are not even fund in ethylene. However I have read that plasticizers can mimic estrogen if I remember right. Perhaps you are talking about those. There should be no plasticizers in hdpe, it has a transition temperature just over 200 F, and is thus flexible without it. But I do know that plasticizers have been known to be added to hdpe, although they should not. I suspect that it may be a case of recycled plastic being added to the mix, and some non hdpe inadvertantly being added that had plasticizers in it. But I have no documentation on that.
