Hey, i looked around a little, and I think I figured out where he got his idea that it burned fat.
http://stress.about.com/cs/cortisol/a/cortweight.htm
This article, and some others I looked at that were less good, talk about how cortisol actually stimulates fat burning, but it also stimulates hunger and storage of fat directed at the abdominal region, so it starts out helping you, but then it makes you eat more and store it in the bad area (healthwise), which is why we think of it as bad, I think, even though it does actually stimulate some fat burning.
