'extreme' phala-srutis

Here's a query I received that I'm referring to Achintya-ites for commenting

on.

 

Why is it so sinful to

receive salt in the hand? This is considered

equivalent to eating beef. So that means one would go

to hell for it. That is totally incomprehensible to

me.

 

In fact, such negative phala-srutis are a big source

of doubt for devotees. Could you please shed some

light on this?

Which phala-shruti says this? I had never heard of it.

 

I know that my wife will never put salt directly into my hand or in

my prasaadam, but I think that is more of a cultural thing.
