Coffee connected to lowered colon cancer risk again

One thing that simply never ceases to leave from the media these days is the subject of coffee drinking. Is it good for you or bad? Studies abound on this issue, and the only real consensus is confusion it seems.
So, let's try another one: a recent piece of research from Japan concluded that consuming
three or more cups of coffee a day may cut the risk of colon cancer in women by half. By half?
I wonder if the antioxidant level in coffee has anything to do with that if in fact there is validity to the study. It looked at information from more than 96,000 men and women aged between 40-69 over a period of up to 12 years, so I'm thinking the study has some validity (without looking deeper). The researchers did state that the mechanism in coffee that seemed to have a cancer prevention effect was unknown.
