| | leer con cierto escepticismo | Explanation:
Entendiendo que el asunto no es cuestión de traducción sino de interpretación del sentido de la metáfora encontré la siguiente explicación:
To "take something with a grain of salt," of course, means to not entirely believe a story, or to view it with a healthy degree of skepticism. It doesn't mean that you think the person recounting the story is completely crazy or making it all up. It just means you don't want to be close enough to get caught under the net his keepers are fixing to drop on him. (VEr referencia por internet)
