Mr. President, it appears that I will be blocked from offering an amendment on bisphenol A, to the food safety bill.

There is mounting scientific evidence that shows that BPA is linked to harmful health effects. Over 200 scientific studies show that even at low doses, BPA is linked to serious health problems, including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, early puberty, behavioral problems, and obesity.
