'Natural xenoestrogens include phytoestrogens which are plant-derived xenoestrogens. Because the primary route of exposure to these compounds is by consumption of phytoestrogenic plants, they are sometimes called "dietary estrogens". Mycoestrogens, estrogenic substances from fungi, are another type of xenoestrogen'
'The word xenoestrogen is derived from the Greek words ξένο (xeno, meaning foreign), οἶστρος (estrus, meaning sexual desire) and γόνο (gene, meaning "to generate") and literally means "foreign estrogen"' metalloestrogen is listed there too as an inorganic xenoestrogen.
It doesn't matter, we're debating over the definition of the word. If xenoestrogens means all external estrogens, it might be here http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1742-1241.2011.02805.x/abstract but it's behind a paywall, and not worth it.
