How did they see it happen and how do they prove it was caused by the combination?

Elders have their own ways of knowing.  You have to believe.

My F-i-L claims this as well, it seems his factory canteen stopped it as many uncles complained. This is a serious belief among some. I haver seen any scientific report on this aspect. I have used it when I cook, but these days I have given up the fight as its tough to fight a belief.

 

some funny responses..

Not to make noise at home using utensils or else it will lead to many quarrels at home.

After having darshan at a temple not to show one's back to the deity, otherwise he/she will turn its back from you.

[Stradlater]

Oh and also not to keep a copy of Mahabharata at home since it might lead to quarreling amongst the family members.

wifey never passes salt from hand to hand, she thinks it leads to fights. 
She doesn't put tomatoes in Spinach dal - believes it causes brain cancer. Taught by her dad.

Not passing salt from hand to hand is so religiously followed in my home. Couple of weeks back my little daughter handed me a salt packet. We are yet to fight though. [emoji23]

Don't be so quick to dismiss such advice as mere superstitions.  1000s of years ago, our ancestors did these things because of some scientific reason and passed the wisdom on.  And the effects could manifest weeks or months down the line - the next time you get upset with your little daughter when she throws a tantrum, it will be because of the salt-exchange.

You must avoid it, and especially avoid giving it to your kids.  If you are going to eat it, make sure it was grown by vedic farming methods - the toxins do not appear in these plants if grown in that way.

It is a Golt thing , I guess.  There is one family, they would not utter the word 'salt'. Instead they would say 'sugar' twice. Uttering the word 'salt' is considered inauspicious!
