The second sentence is the more correct way of saying the phrase than the first, but could I suggest another way of phrasing it?:
"Compared to twenty years ago, today in Taiwan, people are consuming more than twice as much milk per person."
That way it becomes much more clearer as to what the statement's comparisons are.
