Default Sand?

Found this link from another site.

One reason to avoid certain substrates. Not nice photos, I'm afraid.

Its worth noting the caption under one of the photo's states "

The intestinal contents contained a sand marketed as "digestable" for reptiles".

Seems another case of calci-sand, why oh why do people use this stuff when there is so much adverse information out there that proves it is not digestible, and actually a potential life-taker, particularly in Leos. This stuff should have been banned buy now, it clearly works for some, but the risks seem high, and I dont think its one worth taking.
