What do you think burns more body fat?

I'm not overweight but I was wondering what would burn more body fat: long distance type of workouts with a lot of even-paced long swim sessions or sprint workouts with mainly sprint intervals.

    I've been told that with cardio workouts, 40 minutes is the magic number.. The first 20 minutes burns the blood sugar--the secoind 20 hits the fat store... This is something I heard--I didn't come up with this, I didn't research it, I have not ivestigate the claims to it's accuracy. I've been doing 40 mins 2x a weeks since the begining of year...those who saw me in the fall last year and again at Zones or Nats can tell you if I looked leaner. I think I did but sometimes your eye sees what it wants to see. I don't diet or go without cake, cookies or beer...so I'm not ripped anyhow.
