And my colleague starts freaking me out because he said the phenylalanine can cause mental retardation in my baby!

I've never heard of that before. Some people think of the stupidest things.

Phenylalanine is dangerous to the fetus if the mother has PKU. Then there is a definite risk of brain damage. Other studies show maybe some subtle changes if taken in large quantaties (like 5 times the normal value). So, phenylalanine in moderation is probably ok.
