I've also read that, and also that you shouldn't keep them near the stove.
I just ignore that. We have 24 spices hanging on the side of the refrigerator in magnetic containers, not far from the stove. Probably another 12 in the cabinet next to the stove. We cook many different cuisines, so there have never been a "staple 5." I can tell with a sniff when they need to be replaced.
