Actually, toothpaste may very well contain estrogen mimics, as does soap, deodorant, shaving cream, makeup.....pretty much any cosmetic products.
But the health of these mimics, called Parabens is in question. Some studies have suggested a link between them and breast cancer. They are also far weaker than natural forms of estrogen.

Something tells me taking natural supplements seems a safer idea, but its pretty hard to avoid all this stuff either way, so.....
Good luck.
