Is it true that epilepsy kills as many people per year as breast cancer?

Asked by jca (36062points) November 8th, 2010

Someone posted on my FB today that the Epilepsy Foundation claims that epilepsy kills as many people per year as breast cancer. I find that hard to believe, but I also know that anything is possible. I am wondering if the Epilepsy Foundation has skewed stats in some way to benefit their cause.

I googled this (deaths per year breast cancer epilepsy) but it brought me back to the FB posts and some obscure information.

Does anybody on Fluther know?
