"Inhibition of Amyloid Fibril Formation by Polyphenols: Structural Similarity and Aromatic Interactions as a Common Inhibition Mechanism"

http://www.tau.ac.il/lifesci/departments/biotech/members/gazit/documents/52.pdf

I know this is mostly about amyloid-beta (Alzheimer's, or AD), but it also mentions tau (a form of which is also involved in AD). Tannic acid and curcumin are also discussed.

While tau, not amyloid-beta (A-beta), is the mechanism which causes CBD, often people have more than one type of neurodegenerative disease. There may be an AD component to the symptoms of some CBD sufferers. So, medications or supplements that will affect A-beta might be beneficial.

["Polyphenols" may be the "cinnamon proanthocyanidins", "grape seed extract", and "tannins".]
