The National Kidney Foundation is trying to put a long time urban legend to rest.
For the past 30 years, it has been rumored that kidney patients can exchange alumminum pull tabs from soft drinks for dialysis treatment.
The Foundation says that is not true and never has been.
A spokeswoman for the group says they frequently get calls from people asking them where to take the tabs.
While it's grateful people want to help, the Foundation says the tabs are worthless.
Still the group says dialysis is available to everyone who needs it, regardless of income.
