The Cottage Cheese I have contains about 7g of sugar per half cup. I cant find any cottage cheese that doesnt contain sugar in my supermarket. Should I continue to use it? is sugar that bad?

It's probably the milk sugar lactose. I doubt it's added sugar in CC.

Yogurt on the other hand often has a ton of sugar added to it to make it taste better, so be careful with that.

Yes it's just the Carbohydrate (or which is "sugar") variable. Mine I'm eating right now is 6g per 125g.
Sugar in this case being a broad description and not sugar they've added.

For the record, I also buy dry curd and that has 2g per 125g.
